A plethora of awards news for you this morning. First up, the Urban Music Awards, which took place on Friday night. Still not sure how these differ from the MOBOs, but whatever.

Among the winners on the night were Jamelia, who was named Best R&B Act, Lethal B who won Best Garage Artist and Raghav who was named Best Chart Act. Roll Deep got Best Album for 'In At the Deep End', Skinny Man won Best Hip-Hop Act, Courtney Pine won Best Jazz Act and Sway Desafo was named Best Newcomer.

M People's Heather Small picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award, while Craig David won an Outstanding Achievement trophy. Not sure which of his achievements were specifically deemed "outstanding", but whatever, well done him.

Commenting on the awards, UMA founder Jordan Kensington told reporters: "The growth of the Urban Music Awards has been incredible. We have pioneered grassroots support for 100% UK artists".
