Emeli Sande Wins Big At Q Awards 2012

Emeli Sande has beaten the likes of Adele, Noel Gallagher and Florence + the Machine to be crowned Best Solo Artist at this year's Q Awards.

The Next To Me singer picked up the prize earlier today (22nd October) at the ceremony, which was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

Reunited rockers Blur were also one of the big winners, taking home the coveted Best Live Act gong ahead of Radiohead and The Stone Roses.

Other winners included Plan B who won the Best Track accolade for iLL Manors and Muse, who were named Best Act In The World Today.

Speaking of the event, Q Magazine Editor Andrew Harrison said in a statement: "It's been the most incredible year for British music.

"Our bands and our anthems transformed the Olympics. A string of great albums announced fantastic new talent on the scene. And amazing comeback shows from Blur and the Stone Roses showed the enduring appeal of our best-loved musicians.

"Q is proud to raise a glass (perhaps a bottle of our very own Q Red Label Beer) to salute the artists that make Britain the world capital of rock and roll."
