BRIT AWARDS 2013 : THE WINNERS

Emeli Sandé picked up two awards, including the Best British Album as world music’s biggest names converged on London’s O2 Arena overnight for the 2013 Brit Awards.
Emeli won for her stunning LP ‘Our Version Of Events’, which has spawned four UK top 20 singles (three of which were top five) and also picked up the Best British Female Solo Artist.
But Emeli wasn’t the only one going home with two gongs, with up and coming singer Ben Howard taking home the awards for British Male and British Breakthrough Act.
The Brits’ love affair with Adele certainly shows no signs of abating, with ‘Skyfall’ nabbing the Best British Single, while Mumford & Sons bagged the award for British Group.
Our own Gotye lost out to Frank Ocean in the International Male Solo Artist category.
