    Actually met Nadine and Nicola at the Valley a few years back, when Nadine was still with Neil McCafferty (What ever happened to him?).

    Lovely girls.

    And yes we did play their single, just before we left, but you weren't there thanks to Cruikshank.

    I did and thought the same. Not quite sure his misery and pain is all that believeable any more when you know he's getting back on a plane to his large house in LA after the gig.

    I like Seasick Steve. Raw, old fashioned blues.

    There was a a good documentary of him on Sunday night driving through Mississippi. What a dump rural, southern USA is but fascinating.

    Only decent thing on the Brits last night were Kings Of Leon, once they played I lost interest, one thing that did pee me off, the way Horne & Cordon belittled Iron Maiden winning best live act, yeah, shocker ah, band that actually plays instruments and has millions of fans wins best live act, cretins.

    I dont get the Kylie thing, not saying she's ugly, but she dont do it for me, Katy Perry & Duffy definitely.

    Yeah he's good. Reminds me of a modern Skip James.

    Don't really know Skip James. Got Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues on the iPod but that's all. Can hear what you mean about being similar.

    Been listening to a lot of Memphis Minnie. Female blues singer from the 30s. Very raw but raunchy music and lyrics. Admit I had never heard of her until I caught a radio 4 documentary about her a few months ago.

    Kings of Leon were by far best live act on there.
    Coldplay were good even if I dont like them.
    I thought U2 were absolutely shocking - sounded awful and rubbish song as well.

    Girls Aloud won as voted for by public and boy band/girlband will always have more people willing to text in and vote for best single. mind you it was quite a catchy tune.

    Managed to miss that one - Was it their new song? If so, can't stand it.

    Yep, didn't sound great, and Bono with dark mascara on.....as for Coldplay, cant abide them, and Martin cannot sing live....oh, and he's a ponce IMO.

    Actually, I've realy grown to like Coldplay. Agree that he was a bit ropey last night, but saw them (on TV) at Glastonbury and it was much better.

    Horses for courses...... If we all liked the same stuff it'd be boring!

    Exactly.

    I liked the Estelle / Ting Tings mix up, and i like Girls Aloud. Pleased they finally won something as those sort of bands are not fashionable in 'arty music' world.

    Don't mind Coldplay but most of their stuff sound the same to me, and i still think their best songs are Yellow and Trouble.

    Kings of Leon etc do nothing for me, not really my bag. Think Duffy is excellent, but no one should really win 3 awards. Was suprised and disappointed that near enough the same people cropped up in numerous categories, and there seems to be a real glut of decent male solo's on the up.

    Every year i get more and more in love with Kylie. Like the Gav and Stacey pair, thought they did their bit well.

    Detested the fake crowd music they played over everything, ruined the viewing for me.
