The MOJO Inspiration Award (presented by HMV)
Winner: The Teardrop Explodes
PA: "We have a tradition of reuniting bands at the MOJO Honours List. The Specials in 2008 - with Jerry Dammers - is a case in point. And last year, Blur and Mott The Hoople made their first appearances in reunited form on a stage at the MOJO Honours List. This year, we're amazed that The Teardrop Explodes agreed to come and receive this award that celebrates their spirit of innovation and their impact. They were the great ambassadors of psychedelia in the '80s when the genre was all but dead. And you can hear their influence on Morrissey and Blur - to name but two acts that benefited from The Teardrops' epic post-punk sensibilities."
So who actually attended the awards? Was Julian really on-stage with Balfe?
