Well... it was last night and unfortunately Portico Quartet didn't win it, but what a record to be beaten by. Great news for Elbow. They've been doing it for 18yrs, which I didn't know.

It was a great night though. if you missed it on telly it's showing again one Friday on the BBC so watch out. Portico played a blinder and they were all just happy to be a part of it. For a first record from a instremental group, it's a pretty good acheivement. Well done guys. Thanks for having me there.

Some great performances from Adele and Rachel Unthanks and the Winterset... truely spine tingling. It's great to see so much good British music about. What a year.
