It’s been a long day for everyone here at Earls Court. But we’re all going to bed (yeah right, there are like a zillion parties to hit!) with the satisfaction of an incredibly fulfilling musical evening. There were surprisingly few wacky moments, though top of the charts would have to be when the Arctic Monkeys accepted their award for Best British Album dressed like English Country Gents. They held flasks of whiskey and decoy ducks and played a horn into the mike.

Touching moments included Amy Winehouse sending televised messages of love to her incarcerated husband, and Mark Ronson saying he’d never been more chuffed in his life. Top performances were Leona Lewis and a troupe of dancers whom we interviewed earlier in the day. They pulled it off masterfully, dancing romantically under a shower of what looked like purple rose petals. Also ace among our interviewees were the Haggis Horns who tooted with the best of them during Mark Ronson’s performance, bleating beautiful music along with a string section of beautiful ladies.

The Family Ozzy were a treat, Sharon must have changed at least five times in the two hour show. Kelly got a kick out of intro-ing her close mate Amy Winehouse, and Ozzy was chuffed to introduce Paul McCartney, a man he says inspired him to get into music in the first place.

McCartney was the star of the night however, whose five song medley, with green and blue flames, sparkling firecrackers and tracks that spanned a lifetime spent making music brought the house down.

Now we’re off to the parties, keep looking back here for more backstage, video interviews and exclusive footage and photos coming in all through tonight and tomorrow.
