THE BRITS 2014 AWARDS ARE HERE!!!!

Established in 1977, The Brits launched, but not under their current name; the British Record Industry Britannia Centenary Awards were held in the Wembley Conference Centre. This event however was not solely launched to celebrated the various musical achievements it was very much to hallmark the Silver Jubilee (25 years as the monarch) of Her Royal Highness as well as a commemoration of Thomas Edison inventing the sound recording.

Hosted by Michael Aspel, OBE established TV host who I can only say I have seen from his time presenting 'THIS IS YOUR LIFE' the event boasted winners such as Shirley Bassey, Queen and The Beatles accompanied by a incredibly popular performance by Simon & Garfunkel which was repeatedly demanded by the audience ( I can only visualise an assembly of well dressed members of the gentry assuming the form of farm crop being brushed by a cool breeze to the 'Sounds of silence').

47 years on  The Brits are still going strong with James Corden  hosting tomorrow's show. A prestigious award by many accounts, an annual ceremony to celebrate not only British music but also International music breaking through in Britain with twelve awards up for grabs.

Performers for this years award show include Arctic Monkeys, Katy Perry and Bruno Mars. Collaborations will consist of Pharrell Williams and NIle Rodgers, pop sensation Lorde with Disclosure and Rudimental teaming up with Bastille. Rumours are afloat that Beyonce is tipped to perform, and if so will it top her spectacular Grammy performance earlier this year? All in all The Brits 2014 Awards promises to be a star studded event that cannot be missed.
