Some of the biggest UK pop chart acts packed the Genting Arena in Birmingham last night for the annual bash organised by Free Radio.
Clean Bandit, Paloma Faith, Years & Years, Rudimental, Anne-Marie, Olly Murs, Bebe Rexha, Rak-Su and James Arthur all gave sterling performances and impressed with their styling too.
Our man with the plan – and a case full of camera gear – Jason Sheldon, was in the middle of all the action on stage and backstage, to paint with light (!) and bring us a batch of sizzling shots of the pop world’s shiniest stars in all their finery. (Don’t ask him about the wi-fi connection though, or you’ll never hear the end of it!!!!!)
