Review

A new venue – Alexandra Palace; a new host – Richard O’Brien – and a new TV broadcaster as the BRIT Awards moved to Carlton after eight consecutive years with the BBC. It was also the start of a new series of special BRIT Award duets with Kd Lang and Erasure’s Andy Bell teaming-up on stage.

Rod Stewart brought back The Faces to celebrate him winning the Outstanding Contribution award, Annie Lennox won two more awards and Nigel Kennedy collected the final Best Classical trophy. There was a first BRITs appearance for new boy band Take That while guest presenters on the night included Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Naomi Campbell and Smashie & Nicie.
