Voting is now open for the Q Awards 2010 with Russian Standard Vodka.
On Monday 25th October, Q will honour the best music of the past year at the annual Q Awards, which will once again be sponsored by Russian Standard Vodka.
For the second year running, the inimitable Al Murray - The Pub Landlord will take on hosting duties of what has become one of the most prestigious and raucous events on the music calendar.
Speaking of his eagerly awaited return to Awards duty, The Pub Landlord says:
"This is the music event of the year, everyone wants a Q Award, and if they're truly lucky, like Muse last year, they might win a frozen chicken too"
This year there will be 3 new categories to its roll of an honour. Two new categories - Best Female Artist and Best Male Artist - will be added to the 7 existing awards that are voted for by the public. The third new award will be for Next Big Thing, which will highlight the single most exciting musical talent of the year ahead and will be hand-picked by a specially selected panel of music industry experts and Q Magazine.
The much coveted award of Best Act In The World Today is presented by Russian Standard Vodka. The always hotly contested Best Track is presented by Barclaycard Unwind.
The Q Awards with Russian Standard Vodka's chosen charity is YOUYOU whose aim is to provide practical mentoring help to young people who are disadvantaged due to their circumstance or disability, to enable them to gain invaluable experience and succeed in the turning their interests into a career.

JIMI HENDRIX MURDERED? “NOT IMPROBABLE” SAYS NOEL REDDING...
The name Jimi Hendrix conjures up some of the most colourful and wildest moments that the sixties produced. Hendrix arrived, he conquered and took the music world by storm, got inside your head and went onto the great gig in the sky - all by the age of 27.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience , left you in no doubt that it was exactly that – an experience.
A trio of musicians who came together from both sides of the Atlantic and found common ground, fame and for one third of the group not very much fortune.
For Noel Redding the bass player in the group the experience was not to be forgotten. Since the death of Hendrix 40 years ago, much as been documented about him and the group.
Looking back to the sixties and you could be thinking you are on another planet. Any history relating to that period is taken up with music and culture. The Jimi Hendrix Experience played
it's part.
Making a timely appearance is a DVD that is being put out by Discs International, containing a never before seen interview with Noel Redding recorded at his home in Ireland in 1988.
It makes fascinating viewing. All the years of seeing film of them in concert and photographs of Hendrix, Redding and Mitchell, you find yourself sitting in a living room not with just a legend – but an ordinary guy talking about his early days with the group. No rock star here, no pretentious name dropping, just plain talking. Listening to him you are left wondering how they made it to top.
I asked producer Will Scally who had the foresight to record this interview how it all came about.
“ I had known and been friends with Noel for many years and always found him a very upfront, straightforward guy. We often spoke about doing an interview, he wanted to speak about the band, money, drugs and the death of Hendrix and much more – even speaking about the possibility of Hendrix being murdered. He was on good form that day and wanted to record this for posterity.
Sadly Noel Redding died back in 2003 aged 57
For those interested in Hendrix, Redding and the history of sixties rock music this rare visual documentary should not be missed. The Redding Experience Release date
NOVEMBER 2010.

Jimi Hendrix – Assassinado?? “Não é improvável” Diz Noel Redding…
O nome Jimi Hendrix evoca os momentos mais alegres e selvagens que os anos 60produziram. Hendrix chegou, conquistou e levou o mundo da música ao seu auge, entrou nas nossas cabeças e deu os melhores espectáculos sobre o céu – Isto tudo aos 27 anos.
A Experiência Jimi Hendrix, deixou-nos sem dúvidas, exactamente nisso – na Experiência.
Um trio de músicos que se uniu vindo dos dois lados do Oceano Atlântico encontraram terreno comum e fama, mas não muita fortuna.
Para Noel Redding, o baixista do grupo, a experiência não é para ser esquecida. Desde a morte de Hendrix há 40 anos atrás, muito está documentado acerca dele e da banda.
Olhando para trás, para os anos 60, pensamos que estamos num mundo completamente diferente. Qualquer história relacionada com este período é dedicada á musica e á cultura. A experiência Jimi Hendrix teve a sua parte.
A marcar isso mesmo é o DVD que está a ser produzido pela Discs International, descrevendo uma entrevista nunca publicada de Noel Redding, em sua casa na Irlanda em 1988.
É fascinante, depois de tantos anos a vermos filmes e fotografias de Hendrix,Redding e Mitchell, encontramo-nos perante, não o que chamamos de lenda – mas sim uma pessoa simples a falar dos seus primeiros tempos com o grupo. Sem se tentar passar como uma das maiores estrelas de rock que o tempo já viu, tem uma conversa aberta e honesta. Ao ouvi-lo pensamos como é que eles conseguiram chegar ao topo.
Perguntei ao Productor Will Scally quem teve o cuidado de fazer esta entrevista, de como tudo aconteceu:
“Eu conheci e fui amigo do Noel por muitos anos e sempre o achei muito franco ehonesto. Nós frequentemente falavamos sobre fazer uma entrevista acerca da banda, do dinheiro, das drogas, da morte de Hendrix e muito mais – até falar da possibilidade de Hendrix ter sido assassinado. Ele estava em boa forma nesse dia e quis gravar isto simplesmente para a posterioridade”.
Foi com tristeza que Noel Redding morreu em 2003, com 57 anos.
Para todos os que estão interessados no Hendrix, Redding e na história de músicarock dos anos 60, este raro documentário visual não pode ser perdido.
O DVD estará disponível no dia 6 DE DEZEMBRO de 2010.

УБИЛИ-ЛИ ДЖИМИ ХЕНДРИКСА? « МАЛОВЕРОЯТНО» СКАЗАЛ НОЕЛ РЕДДИНГ…
Имя Джими Хендрикса вызывает вооброжение о самых красочных и самых диких моментaх произведённых шестидесятыми годами. Хендрикс прибыл, он взял и штормом завоевал музыкальный мир, пронзился в твою голову и ушёл в небо на большой концерт - всё за 27 лет.
«Опыт Джими Хендрикса», оставил тебя без сомнения что это был именно - опыт.
Сойдясь с разных сторон Атлантики тройка музыкантов нашли общий язык, славу и на одну треть группы не очень много удачи.
Для Ноель Реддинга-бас гитариста в группе опыт был незабываемым. Спустя 40 лет со смерти Хендрикса,o нём и о группе было выпущено много документальных фильмов.
Оглядываясь назад в шестидесятые годы у вас появляется ошущение когбуд-то вы находитесь на другой планете. Любая история связаная с тем периодом заваёвана музыкой и культурой. «Опыт Джими Хендрикса», сыграл свою роль.
Своевременное появление DVD, производчиком которого является MNV Disc International, содержит ещё никогда невиденное интервью с Ноель Реддинг записанное в его доме в Ирландии в 1988г.
Это делает просмотр увлекательным. Все эти годы видя фильмы о них из концертов и фотоснимков Хендрикса, Реддинга и Миттчеля, вы ощутите себя будто вы сидите в гостинной не с легендой а с обычным парнем который расказывает о своих первых днях в группе. Не рок звезды здесь, не претенциозных названий, наоборот обыкновенный разговор. Слушая его вы гадаете как они достигли вверха.
Я спросил Уилла Скалли продюсера как всё это произошло «Я знаком с Ноелем и в течение многих лет мы были друзьями, я его всегда находил очень простым и прямым парнем. Мы часто беседовали о производсте интервью, он хотел говорить про деньги, наркотики и смерть Хендрикса и многое другое – даже говорили о возможности что Хендрикса убили. Он себя хорошо чувствовал в тот день и хотел записать это процветание.
К сожалению Ноель Реддинг умер ещё в 2003 году возрасте 57 лет
Для тех кто заинтерисован в Хендриксе, Реддинге и истории рок музыки шестидесятых годов этот редкий визуально документальный фильм не должен быть упущен.
