Blake after the award

Congratulations to the Winners of the NS&I Album of Year, Blake. The boys, Ollie, Stephen, Jules and Dom talk to t5m about where they are going to put their award (a few interesting options) and how excited they are to get it. It's great to see the camaraderie of the group which met on Facebook and haven't been singing together long as they joke about with each other. The great work that the BRIT Trust and BRIT School do gets an important mention but the real excitement is meeting their hero, Andrew Lloyd Webber, as one of the boys started his career in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat - and no, he won't sing some (although our interviewer, Emma, gives us a few bars)

Tenor at the Movies star, Jonathan Ansell, talks to t5m after the show about the performances that he loved. Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman were a highlight but the best bit for him was Josh Groban's performance on the piano. For Jonathan classical musicians are aspirational people who are always trying harding and wanting to make it perfect.
