Whether it was Kaiser Chiefs\' exiting performance of I Predict A Riot at the opening, Gorillaz multi-media extravaganza, or the simple pleasures of James Blunt’s live version of Beautiful, the 2006 edition of the Brit Awards had something for everyone.
The biggest winners were Kaiser Chiefs, featuring drummer Nick Hodgson (photo): they scooped three awards.
The Leeds lads walked away with an award as Best British Group, Best British Rock Act and Best Live Act.
