Rolling Stones’ guitarist Ronnie Wood was given the outstanding contribution honour for his ‘ageless presence’ on the scene.
Classic Rock magazine was reported as saying that the prize was also in recognition of ‘his musical achievements with The Jeff Beck Group, The Faces and now The Rolling Stones.’
The Ovei allowed attendees to experience their rock masters’ best performances. Located at the lobby area of the awards, the Ovei had a collection of 10 minute clips with all the bands’ live video concerts uploaded into its Blue4 media server. Visitors could comfortably sit inside the media pod and choose their favourite artists.
Lee McCormack, creator of the Ovei, said: “It was a great atmosphere and the rockers responded really well to the Ovei. It was seen as a great space to reflect and experience the music they love and create.”
‘Brian May and Ronnie Wood tried it and loved it, not sure if they watched themselves or another group, but it was a fantastic way to show what they are best at in all their glory.” added McCormack.
