Nicola Benedetti - Young British Classical Performer

First past the winning post was the musician who last year despite being nominated for three Brits left empty-handed. Not the case for violinist Nicola Benedetti this time around. Nicola was awarded with the Young British Classical Performer Award by Classic FM's Sunday Spa presenter Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen and afterwards she told Anne-Marie how it felt to be the first winner of the night: "I'm very happy that I've won, and grateful to be nominated. It was nice to be able to stand up there and thank people and have my family there."
