Anyone else getting ready for the music industry's annual love in with itself?

Jack Whitehall always manages to be a pretty witty host, and some fine talent performing including Wolf Alice and Raye.

A tribute to Ozzy led by Robbie Williams... well I'm guessing it needs to be seen...

Just ten minutes to go eh?  Brief distraction from WW3 kicking off in Iran and in that thread about using wows...

Any idea what Noel said to get some booing and thumbs downing going?  I really wish they'd do another version for adults without the bleeping.

You owuld have thought Weller or Marr would have presented the award to Noel. I'm sure he'll say sweet fuck all.

Wee Noel was quite humble. Ronson is insufferable.

I thought he was pissed... the man has some hits though...

Dua Lipa is pretty awful too. From her interviews, she seems like a cool person to hang out with but her stage presence is Posh Spice level. Awful.

What was the song Wolf Alice played? I’m not familiar with them but really liked that track and am keen to hear more.

It's a cracking song and fun to solo over too. Most of it is just G and A.

Yeah agreed there are four Wolf Alice albums of staggering quality.

Also, as she just proved again with a brilliant performance despite clearly being pissed as a fart... Elllie Rowsell is a goddess...

Wolf Alice are the best band of the year by far. Great performance too.

The comment that always stays with me is referring to their generation of bands, they are just comically better than anyone else.

Jeff Goldbum or whatever his name is will turn up for anything ha!

I think that the last time I watched The Brits was when Mark Reilly (Matt Bianco) had an altercation with members of The Fine Young Cannibals. Must have been the late 80s! 

Sounds like I should watch this year's event. Will do so on catch-up if the general consensus is that it's a good'un. :-)
