The nominations for this year’s BRIT Awards have been announced, and 6 former ITC acts have managed to bag 14 nominations between them.
Elbow, Coldplay and Radiohead go head-to-head in the ‘Best British Group’ category. The same 3 bands will also battle it out for the ‘Best British Album’ award. The ‘Best British Live Act’ category is dominated by former ITC bands – Coldplay, Elbow, Scouting For Girls and The Verve will be battling to overcome the might of metal godfathers Iron Maiden! Coldplay and Scouting For Girls receive nominations for the ‘Best British Single’ award. Scouting For Girls’ third nomination comes in the ‘Best British Breakthrough Act’ category. A mention also for ITC 2008 graduate Little Boots who was runner-up in the ‘Critics’ Choice Award’, losing out to Florence & The Machine.
