In case you hadn't noticed, it was the Brit awards this week. The annual music industry back-pat saw Duffy sweep up and Coldplay having a "shit day", and this week's Music Weekly kicks off with behind-the-scenes interviews, featuring Elbow, Lady Gaga, Pet Shop Boys, Florence and the Machine and, yes...

Duffy and Kings of Leon were the big winners at the 2009 Brit Awards which were held at Earls Court in London, England last night bringing home a total of five awards between them. Coldplay, who were nominated for 4 awards, were the Brangelina of the awards show as they went home empty-handed. Sad. ...

The Brit awards exist to recognise excellence in British music. Or at least it usually does - last night it couldn’t be bothered and just gave a load of prizes to Duffy instead. That’s right. Duffy. Duffy who your mum likes. Duffy who sings like a baby goat stuck in a cattle grid. Duffy ...

Katy Perry really loves Hello Kitty. Maybe even a little too much. Apparently, Katy wasn't feeling too well at the 2009 Brit Awards. While accepting her award for Best International Female Artist she said, "I'm so sick right now, but they said I should show up because something special might happen....

Duffy, the 24-year-old singer from ­Bangor with a 1960s pop sound and Brigitte Bardot hair, swept the Brits last night, picking up three awards in recognition of a remarkable debut in which her first album, Rockferry, sold 1.7m copies in the UK last year. With a husky voice which has drawn comparis...

21:30 - The Ting Tings and Estelle take to the stage together for one of the most bizarre collaborations I’ve ever witnessed. It kind of works as they boh get to perform their biggest hits but it’s not a patch on last year’s Rihanna/Klaxons mash-up. 21:33 - Alan Carr on stage to pr...

21:01 - It’s Take That’s turn to take to the stage. And they clearly need no introduction, coming straight on after Kings of Leon finish their acceptance speech. They descend from the ceiling singing Greatest Day. They’re all wearing spectacles and look like geeks. Have I missed so...

The Brit Awards ceremony is being held tonight between 8pm and 10pm. I will be live blogging the whole event here on Brit Music Scene in four separate parts, each covering half an hour of the show. Each post will be live blogged and updated as it happens. To keep up-to-date and find out who the winn...

21.28 WINNER - Kanye West is best international male and quite rightly he points out that he's the best male in every country in all nations. It might have been funny if you didn't know he totally believed it. I'd just like to thank Conor and Edith by the way. And Gok Wan presenting an award? Now th...

Tonight, ITV wipes its entire schedule of supposed entertainment to bring us the Brit Awards 2009. It may not have happened yet, but we can’t see it being edgy, cool or vaguely risky. The show goes out at 8pm, leaving today’s young pop stars with an entire hour to swear before the watershed ...
