Tony Engle of Topic Records was presented with the MOJO ‘Roots’ Award at the magazine’s 2009 Honours List ceremony in London last night [Thu 11th June - Ed].
Amongst fellow guests who included Yoko Ono, Sir Peter Blake, Paul Weller and Mott the Hoople, the ‘Roots’ music award was received by Martin Carthy, Shirley Collins and M.D. of the label for 40 years, Tony Engle. They accepted it on behalf of all Topic artists, as well as the unsung heroes of traditional music.
