Take That Win At The Ivor Novello Awards
18 May 2012
It was a big day for Take That yesterday as Robbie, Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason took home the PRS For Music Outstanding Contribution to British Music award at the prestigious Ivor Novellos. The annual event, which celebrates and honours the finest songwriters in Britain, took place at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
The boys also received a second nomination for their hit single The Flood, but lost out to tough competition from Adele’s Rolling In The Deep.

Hey you! I think this is a well deserved award. Once again it shows that you all did the right thing by reforming the band to its origial form! Well done to the 5 of you!!! This seems to me the right time/chance (since I might never have the chance to say this to you in person so therefore via this way) to thank you also, not only you but also Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason; thank you for helping me to get through my difficult times during my youth. You guys were my "hold on". You kept me going! So thank you for this! Also Rob, remember (or not) you suggested to read the book from Richard Bach; Illusions? I did read it plus also bought the Messiah's handbook from him. It made me think and reflect upon my life and I took some desicions. I'm following evening classes now to change my working career and I'm now going to focus on health, mind and wellbeing of people. I'm done with the stress and "have to's " in life. We miss such beautifull, simple things sometimes. Life is what you make it! True! So, thank you for suggesting me this book! It has helped my therapy to progress in a very positive way and helped me to see some things more clearly! Thank you Rob!!! I really hope that you, plus of course mummy and little bump too, will stay happy and blessed for ever !!!!!!! A big hug from me! Stiena Xxxx
Hey! Why so surprised? Take That is the best. I am proud of them! I am very happy.
I'm so proud to be a thatter
RIP Robin Gibbs, very sad to hear this news. Now to a happier subject, congrants to each one of "Take That" Well done, so very proud of you. You deserved the win. Too bad that you didn't take home best song, but you're a winner, and you always will be. XXXXOOOO
well done Take That, a well deserved win! xx
Hello Robbie It is sad to hear that Robin Gibbs from the Bee Gees has now died.But it is good that the song How Deep Is Your Love.Still gets sung by Gary and Mark and Jason and Howard.Love From Emma xxx
Wasn't really a TT fan before Progress, infact I confess to thinking RW rejoining TT was a backward step. But purchased the dvd for a look and loved it all, even the sans Robbie bits. Happy to admit I was wrong. Congrats to all from a new convert.
Congratst guys! You really deserves it! =)<3
A very prestigious award that's mightily deserved! Congratulations, Rob! Seems everything has come full circle for you...miracles do happen! Lots of love from your friend in L.A. XXXXX
Congrats to TT5 and 4, well deserved! If The Flood was to lose out to anyone it might as well be Adele - she's the most played artist I've heard on our European road trip, she's doing well! RIP Robin, so sad that pneumonia ended the fight... the music lives on x
Another great musician is dead. Robin Gibb RIP
Well done - I'm so pleased for you all! So well deserved. Much love.

OUTSTANDING TAKE THAT! ........................ . Yes, Take That absolutely deserve an award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. The Progress album and tour are EPIC! . Take That deserve an award for Outstanding Contribution to Music overall - not just British music. . Here in the USA I was singing along to Progress this morning in my car. It's simply fantastic music!! Progress won me over, turning a Robbie Williams fan into a Take That fan as well. . I WON AN AWARD TOO THIS WEEK! Best locally produced TV show from the New York State Broadcasters Association: Art Express, Producer, Paul Larson. Just thought I'd share. . Your American friend, Paul (USA 4 Rob!)
FRIENDLIES GOING TO SOCCER AID We have designed a Friendlies Badge for Soccer Aid. The idea is that friends can print it any size they want and attach it to a badge to wear on a cap/hat or on their clothing or a flag whatever is prefered. It is so we can all easily recognise each other as friendlies and so we can wear our badge with pride to show Rob our support for him.

Yaaay, congratulations you guys!!! :-)
** FRIENDLIES BADGE ** To all those friendlies off to Soccer Aid - @ForeverFriendJulie and I have finally got a badge design together so that we can recognise each other on the day. We'll let you know very soon how to download it and then you can stick it on hats, tshirts, flags, etc. This is NOT meant to detract from the RWFU fundraising avatar - please support them!Don't change your avatar on here to our Friendlie badge cos we want the Unicef donations to keep coming. Our badge is just a bit of fun to take to Manchester! Be in touch again soon. Amy No1 xx And thank you again for messages of support - I am approaching the £200 mark now on my fundraising for 'keep it up'!

Rob, Is there a charity that is dearest to your heart(not UNICEF- done that already) A gift in the name of your baby when the time comes. I am sure us friends would love to do that instead of buying a gift. Dont want to know where you live. Not necessary.You would be overwhelmed with too many gifts. A personal charity would be welcomed(for me anyway).Let us know. Cheers.
Hi dearest Rob, Kudos to you and the boys. Fabulous!!!!!Well deserved.There is going to be lots more where that came from. Brace yourselves.So proud of you guys. Kisses. One love.
Huge congrats to Rob and the boys. Great achievement and truly deserved. Well done lads. Here's to many more years of success. Lots of love as always Eims xxxxxxx
