A number of performances that took place throughout the evening caught a lot of attention from the fans, peers and press that were at Leeds’ First Direct Arena on the 4^th November. Arguably the most notable was FKA Twigs, who performed her track Two Weeks with a host of scantily clad, raunchy looking dancers and a live band on stage. CeeLo Green’s performance also caught a lot of attention however it had to be cut short on TV screens around the nation.



A flurry of stars that include local singing star Corinne Bailey Rae, Fatman Scoop, Lethal Bizzle and even The Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain attended the party, with a star studded after party also taking place at Aspire after the main show
