BRITs 2014 – the social media stats are in

The build up to this year’s BRIT Awards was all about how shit it would be – thanks mostly to last years particularly insipid ceremony – but it turned out to be just about on the right side of acceptable.

BRITS 2012 winners – we pick our winners for the BRIT Awards 2012

Here we go again! Last year we ran a post picking our winners for the BRIT Awards, but it fell on deaf ears with the voting panel as they seemingly preferred to pick the winners for each award out of a hat! Nevertheless, we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t give our opinion […]
