Wood wins radio award
Rocker RONNIE WOOD's broadcasting career has been given a big boost - he has won a top honour at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in London.
The Rolling Stones star's show on Absolute Classic Rock radio station has become a hit among listeners and critics alike, and on Monday (09May11) he scooped the Music Radio Personality of the Year prize during a ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
Speaking about Wood's "really innovative programme", the judges said, "Ronnie has lived the life of a thousand men and you feel like a child sitting at his feet as he unfolds his rarefied story book and recounts his great adventures. His use of his guitar and harmonica to introduce the varied music and stories make this a unique and award winning show."
