Brit's 2013 All you need to know!

There are now just three weeks to go until arguably the biggest worldwide music event, the Brit Awards sponsored by Master Card. The great event will be held of course at London's O2 Arena (where else!) and once again hosted by James Corden, some fresh blood I believe is needed in the hosting respect but never mind. Performances will come from Singer-Songwriter's Ben Howard as well as Emeli Sande, Mumford and Sons after what has been a monumental year for them, One Direction sadly, but most interestingly will be the return of Robbie Williams to the Brit's stage!
