"One Direction have been named &amp;#039;Best Live Act&amp;#039; at this year&amp;#039;s Silver Clef Awards. The &amp;#039;Kiss You&amp;#039; group fought off competition from the likes of Coldplay, The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen to win the award at this year&amp;#039;s ceremony in central London.  Harry Styles said: &amp;quot;Thanks to everyone who voted for us to win the Nordoff Robbins Best Live Act 2013. We are over the moon. &amp;quot;Congratulations to Nordoff Robbins on another amazing Silver Clef Awards. What an incredible charity, helping people with music therapy.&amp;quot;\u00EF\u00BB\u00BF The &amp;#039;Live Act&amp;#039; award is voted for by the public out of 30 shortlisted acts provided by Ticketmaster UK. The agency compiles the list based on the top-rated shows on their website. The award attracted over 26,000 unique votes this year, with One Direction securing just over 25% of votes. Chris Edmonds, chairman of Ticketmaster UK, commented: &amp;quot;One Direction really is the biggest band out there at the moment, having had their very successful tour last year.    &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s great to hear from our customers which band they thought was the &amp;#039;Best Live Act&amp;#039; of the last 12 months and clearly One Direction really won their fans over, taking just over a quarter of all votes.  &amp;quot;This will get fans even more excited for their huge &amp;#039;Where We Are&amp;#039; stadium tour taking place next year. Congratulations to the boys!&amp;quot;\u00EF\u00BB\u00BF Other winners at this year&amp;#039;s awards included Coldplay and Jessie Ware, who were named &amp;#039;Best British Act&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Best Newcomer&amp;#039; respectively.
