Brit Award ‘Breakout Artist’ Nominees - Live
jamie on February 10th, 2006
The Brit Awards are next week- this is the UK version of our Grammys, only the artists and songs in the runnings aren’t 18 months past their prime. Some of the nominees for “Breakout Artist” this year are my favorite acts of the past year, including James Blunt, The Magic Numbers, and KT Tunstall and and BBC Radio 1’s Jo Whiley has had many of them in to the studios this week to play live on-air. A tradition on the Live Lounge segment is for musical guest to perform a cover song- often with surprising results. Thanks to the BBC’s liberal policy of providing internet streams, I have a collection of the performances for you here today (not CD-quality, but worth the listen).
