Howard, a hitherto largely-unheralded singer-songwriter who has nonetheless gone platinum in the UK with his Every Kingdom debut album, picked up British Breakthrough Act and British Male Solo Artist, looking every bit as bemused as the TV audience at home may have been.
"That's bizarre, isn't it?" he said, as he picked up the second trophy. "To win two of these things is amazing."
Those unfamiliar with Howard had the chance to discover his music later in the show when he performed an acoustic version of his song "Only Love." For that, show host, actor and TV personality James Corden got to introduce him as "a two-time BRIT Award winner…"
On a slick, well-organized night a long way away from the BRITs' one-time riotous reputation, most of the winners were as grown-up and well-behaved as their music, meaning it was often left to the live performances to inject some edge and spectacle into proceedings.
