q10 YEARS ROCKING Alkaline Trio are presented with a plaque from O2 Academy Islington to mark ten years since they opened the venue with a gig in 2003. The landmark birthday was celebrated with a party at the end of last month. From left to right is Ian Richards - the Academy Music Group’s promoter, band member Derek Grant (drums), Academy Islington assistant general manager Abigail Boothby, general manager Alex Gilbert and band members Matt Skiba (vocals/guitar) and Dan Andriano (vocals/bass). Over 1.5 million customers have passed through O2 Academy Islington’s doors to date. That’s a lot of wrist stamps and cloakroom tokens.

What was the first record you remember buying? Either Living Doll by Cliff Richard and The Young Ones or The Chicken Song by Spitting Image.

uLAST MINUTE SUBSTITUTIONS Turns out our football supporters A-Z from a few weeks ago wasn't quite as comprehensive as it could have been. Below you'll find a fair few industry legend types who weren't included and now understandably want to see their name next to their beloved team. Special apologies to PeerMusic royalties manager Bryony Walden – a die-hard West Ham fan who was listed as a Crystal Palace supporter. Imagine. The full, updated supporters list is available to view on MusicWeek.com.

Recommend a track Music Week readers may not have heard... Our Mutual Friend by Divine Comedy. It’s one of the greatest pop songs ever written.


What's your favourite single/track of all time? La Ritournelle by Sebastian Tellier. If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life, this is the one I would choose.


Which song was (or would be) the 'first dance' at your wedding? I'm getting married next month so I'm sworn to secrecy on that one. My second choice was Moonlight, Music & You by Laura Greene.


Which track would you like played at your funeral? Loaded by Primal Scream.


What's your karaoke speciality? Something I can shout - I once wailed Born To Be Wild dressed as a wolf at a Halloween Party.


What was the best artist meeting of your life? Every artist I’ve met has been very nice - highlights are Noel Gallagher, Jim Bob (Carter USM) and Bonehead & Vinny Peculiar.
