From the passage you shared, here are some key points and highlights about the event and artists mentioned:
– **Mark Ronson** received the Outstanding Contribution Award. Despite his typically chill persona, his acceptance speech was emotional. He dedicated the award to Amy Winehouse, reminiscing about the day she came to his studio 20 years ago and how writing *Back To Black* with her changed his life and career. During his performance, he included Amy Winehouse’s old band and used archive footage to honor her legacy.
– **Jade** reflected on her ambitious three-act performance at the previous Brit Awards, expressing relief that she was not performing this year.
– **Wolf Alice** won Best Group and used their acceptance speech to advocate for pubs, clubs, and grassroots music venues under threat of closure. Frontwoman Ellie Rowsell highlighted the economic and cultural importance of these venues and called for sustainable support for artists at all levels.
– **Shaun Ryder and Bez**, stars of Happy Mondays, gave a notably chaotic interview with Jack Whitehall. They humorously described their relationship as a “42-year sexless marriage” and reacted comically to rumors about becoming hosts of Strictly Come Dancing.
– **Alex Warren** overcame a previous difficult performance at the Grammys (where his earpiece malfunctioned) by delivering a faultless performance at this event with James Blunt and the Hallé Orchestra. He ended by dedicating his song *Ordinary* to his wife with a big smile.
– There’s mention at the end about the **best award show development being short speeches**, implying a positive reception to more concise acceptance speeches.
