"Gary Barlow has received the 2012 Music Industry Trusts Award. The X Factor judge was presented with the accolade for his services to music during a charity dinner at London&amp;#039;s Grosvenor House Hotel. The event was held in aid of Nordoff Robbins and the Brit Trust.  Barlow reunited with Take That and Robbie Williams during the ceremony for a number of performances on stage. He opened the gig with &amp;#039;Greatest Day&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;A Million Love Songs&amp;#039;, before joining forces with Williams for current number one single &amp;#039;Candy&amp;#039;, which he co-wrote with the star. Take That&amp;#039;s Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald then came on stage to perform &amp;#039;Shine&amp;#039;.  Williams then returned for &amp;#039;Never Forget&amp;#039;, marking the first time that all five Take That members have performed together since 2011&amp;#039;s massive Progress tour.  Sir Elton John presented Barlow with the award, describing him as a &amp;quot;thoroughly fine human being&amp;quot;. Barlow said: &amp;quot;I am so delighted and humbled. But when I went to look back over the years I&amp;#039;ve been making music, I went blank \u00E2\u20AC\u201C nothing seemed clear. &amp;quot;No moment seemed to feel more important than any other. It&amp;#039;s because I&amp;#039;ve loved every minute. I loved that I was the one at 11 at school that worked every weekend as a piano player. &amp;quot;I loved that I told my careers adviser that I wanted to be a popstar. I love that everyone loved my first solo album and hated my second...  &amp;quot;I love that when we got back together as a foursome, that a tour promoter said, &amp;#039;This won&amp;#039;t work without Robbie Williams&amp;#039;. Well, f**k you. And I loved when we got back together with Robbie.&amp;quot; Barlow added: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve also got another award that I can pass down through the generations \u00E2\u20AC\u201C the Premier Inn &amp;#039;Celebrity Dad Of The Year&amp;#039; award. Three years in a row I was runner-up to bloody Peter Andre.&amp;quot; Kimberley Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos, Myleene Klass and Nicole Scherzinger were also among the guests at the event. Williams had performed and switched on the Christmas lights at London&amp;#039;s Oxford Street earlier in the evening. Barlow will embark on a solo tour of the UK later this month.
