From the excellent Prog Rock Magazine :-

"The second Progressive Music Awards, presented by Orange Amplification, brought the great and the good of the prog world together in the gorgeous surrounds of Kew Gardens.

The first port of call for the evening was an hour-long Champagne and Boodles Gin reception in the Nash Conservatory – also the luxurious venue for an earlier ProgRocks! roundtable featuring Steve Hillage, Steve Rothery, Mike Portnoy, Mikko Von Hertzen and the Safety Fire’s Dez Nagle, which you will be able to read much more about in the upcoming issues of Prog. The aforementioned should give an idea of the social strata of the evening as celebrated seniors such as Marillion and Hawkwind mingled with newer talent like Amplifier and Touchstone while celebrity prog fans Bill Oddie, Matthew Wright and Gavin Esler also enjoyed the bubbly."
