His live set at the awards ceremony, was one of the most simple and moving of the night, showcasing the mesmeric, haunting acoustic style of music that has won him countless followers around the world.
By contrast, another South West success story, Teignmouth trio Muse opened the BRITs with a spectacular OTT display featuring orchestra and fireworks. The band, who honed their craft with intimate Plymouth shows before going stratospheric, were nominated in the category of Best British Group. The band have several BRITs to their name, but the award this time was taken by Mumford and Sons.
