Duffy is queen of the Brits
Thursday 19 February 2009
Duffy was crowned queen of the Brits last night pulling a hat trick.
The Welsh warbler took home three prizes, including best British album for her debut record Rockferry.
Duffy, 24, was named best British female singer and also won the breakthrough award, which is voted on by listeners of BBC Radio 1.
She said: "I just want you to know, I travelled this whole country for five years, playing my songs to old ladies and everybody.
"I can't tell you what this means. For five years …just thank you so much!"
The year’s Brit Awards was a glittering bash, hosted by pop princess Kylie and Gavin and Stacey funnymen James Corden and Mat Horne who performed an offbeat rendition of Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.
Scantily-dressed Girls Aloud wowed the crowds for their performance of The Promise which scooped the Best British Single Award.
Accepting the gong, Sarah Harding screamed into the microphone, "Can I just say, it's about time! I think I've just wet myself there…"
