Goldie medal as DJ receives MBE
UK rave scene pioneer Goldie, who was born in Walsall and grew up in Wolverhampton, has been awarded an MBE by the Prince of Wales for services to music and young people.
Goldie, whose real name is Clifford Price and also goes by the professional name of The Alchemist, was honoured for his contribution to the music, TV and film industries and his work with a number of charities.
He was a leading light in the musical genres of drum and bass and jungle during the 1990s.
He has gone on to appear in several TV shows and movies.
The star said being awarded the MBE was a great achievement.
He said: "I look back at everything, all these people that influenced my life as a kid growing up in a bad environment, it just makes it all worthwhile in terms of the recognition."
