I have some more information since my last posting:

> Here are the results of the British Music Awards...

1. The correct name for the awards was "The British Phonographic Industry
   Awards"

> Best British Album - Diamond Life - Sade      <Slade ??>

2. Sade was correct and not Slade as I thought. Sade (pronounced Sharday)
   is a half-caste female vocalist.

> Best British Female Artiste - Alison Moyet (All Cried Out)

3. Alison Moyet was the female singer with Yazoo (She is also known as Alf,
   and is 8.5 months pregnant)

> Best British Group - Wham
> Best British Producer Trevor Horn (Relax, Two Tribes)
> Best British Single - Relax - Frankie Goes To Hollywood
> (Two Tribes was the 4th best selling British record of all time?)
> Best British Video - Duran Duran - Wild Boys
> Best Classical Record - Vivaldi Four Seasons - Christopher Hogwood
> Best Comedy Record - Hole in my Shoe - Neil

4. Neil, (cannot remember his real name) was one of the characters (the long
   haired hippy) in a comedy series called "The Young Ones" which was shown
   on the BBC. It also starred Rik Mayall. (very good program hope it gets
   shown here, but somehow I doubt it)
   Neil did a flat boring version of Hole In My Shoe ( original version was
   done a long time ago by Traffic )

> Best Film Soundtrack - Purple Rain
> Best International Artist - Prince and the Revolution
> Best Male Artist - Paul Young
> Best Newcomer - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
> Special Award to Bob Geldorf and Midge Ure for Ethiopia thing <Band Aid>
> Special Award to Police for Outstanding Contribution over past 5 years
> 
> I have inserted two comments ( in <> ) one could be a typo, the other for
> clarity.

I hope the rest is more or less self explanatory......
