´óÏó´«Ã½

I promised you a word about this year's , which were held last night at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London's Park Lane.

It was a terrific night for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Ulster. The Stephen Nolan Show took a Sony Gold in the Speech Programme category. Hats off to Stephen -- a massive achievement. He was seriously merry by the end of the evening. Talk Back took a Sony Silver (beating Radio 4's Today programme) in the News and Current Affairs Programme of the year category. And The Summer Club picked up a Sony Bronze in the Sports Programme category.

The climax of the evening was undoubtedly the entrance by Dame Edna Everage, and the delivery of her paean to Sir Tel, who picked up the Gold Award. Wogan couldn't resist a few sideways swipes at Chris Moyles in his acceptance speech.

After all the speeches, we moved from the Grosvenor's Great Hall to the bar and dancefloor uptairs where much celebrity carrousing could be observed from a tasteful distance. The craic was so mighty that Gerry Anderson even bought a round.
