Brits Crash The Grammys

The list of Grammy winners was full of British talent last night (8th Feb), at the 51st annual ceremony in Los Angeles.

Radiohead scooped the ‘Best Alternative Music Album’ prize for ‘In Rainbows’, which also won a Grammy for ‘Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package’.

Coldplay won the very-specific ‘Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals’, the quite-specific ‘Song Of The Year’, and not-quite-as-specific ‘Best Rock Album’ awards for their fourth record ‘Viva La Vida’ and its title track.

Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant was the night’s biggest winner, sharing five Grammys for his album ‘Raising Sand’, a collaboration with American singer-songwriter Alison Krauss.

Estelle & Kanye West picked up the award for best rap collaboration, for ‘American Boy’, while Adele won both the ‘Best Female Pop Vocal Performance’ and ‘Best New Artist’ awards. Meanwhile, Welsh singer Duffy won the ‘Best Pop Vocal Album’ gong for ‘Rockferry’.

Ageing rocker Peter Gabriel completed the British romp by winning the ‘Best Instrumental Arrangement’ and ‘Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media’ awards for his contributions to the animated movie Wall-E.
