Riding high after their Brits success last week, Kasabian scooped best album and best album artwork for West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum.

Muse also picked up two awards, beating Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro and Kasabian to be named best British band as well as receiving the best website prize.

Sheffield’s Arctic Monkeys, who had received the most nominations with six nods, were named best live band.

The event at the O2 Academy in Brixton, south London, was hosted by another Sheffield music star Jarvis Cocker.

Despite Oasis imploding when Noel Gallagher walked out last summer, the band were in the running for a hat-trick of awards, but even lost out to old Britpop rival Blur in the live event category after their reunion show last summer.
