As promised on the TMS thread, here is the Brits thread, to discuss the ceremony as it unfolds. Hosted again by Jack Whitehall.
It's a long one, folks. 
And for those who don't live here, it's in Manchester (and they have been making a big deal of this), at the Co-op Arena . Harry Styles is performing (he's a Co-op Arena shareholder )
Other performers include SOMBR and RAYE- and others who use a lot of capital letters.
So- join me, to discuss the dodgy outfits, iffy singing, and reminisce about 'back in the day' .
