What will you do with your award?

Spoiler: not all gongs are going in the trophy cabinets.

Arthur Brown:

“I have a drain that’s missing a grate, and this is the right kind of shape.”

Daniel Tompkins:

“I have a cabinet where I keep all my trophies of war, and this will take pride of place.”

Anna Murphy:

“Some of us don’t even have homes, so Ivo [Henzi, guitarist] will get it. We can go and visit, like tourists.”

John Petrucci:

“There’s a section of my house where I keep awards and things, where I display things I’m proud of, and this will go in there.”

Jo Quail:

“It’s going to live in my music room. If you work on your own you can go through periods of real self-doubt. So this will remind me that I’ve done something right at some point.”

Steve Rothery:

“I think this is our third Prog Award. It’ll go in the studio with the others.”

John Lodge:

“It’s going right on top of

my piano.”

Chris Ingham (Ramblin’ Man):

“It’s going to go in the bog. I earned this.”

Dave Brock:

“We’ve got a studio in an old milking shed. It’s like an eccentric museum, with posters from all around the world, and plaques for the guys who are dead. It’ll find a home in there.”

Nick D’Virgilio:

“You know what? Greg started this band many, many years ago, way before I joined, and way before David [Longden, singer] joined. So he deserves to have this on his mantel.”

Jack Hues:

“I gave my mother all my gold records, but I’m going to hang on to this one. I will use it to start a trophy cabinet.”

Jordan Rudess:

“It’s going to go in Dream Theater Headquarters.”

Tony Smith:

“Put it with the others.”

Ross Jennings:

“We’re going to play frisbee with it.”

Nick Mason:

“I have a motor racing trophy cabinet, but this doesn’t belong in there. But I’m rebuilding a studio at the moment, so this could go in there.”
