Mart	Ah! The smoking debate on singing re-emerges. Simple fact is some singers sing better on it, some suffer as a result. I was told that Pavarotti has a single cigarette before a performance. This situation with the smoking will of course be great for autograph hunters when the ban comes in, just hang around outside the gig, and get rather a lot of signatures. I`m pretty sure the Brits was non smoking, the fog in the hotel I stayed at with some of the guests later reeked of desperation for a fag, I was awoken at 4 am by a door slamming , and a guest yelling "I hate this place it stinks of smoke!"
Benson and Hedges	were they allowed to have a cigarette?
Manager Man	What I meant, is that the artist's longterm career (ie the recording session the next day) is far more important than a ligging session at The Brits. Arctic Monkeys didn't even go to The Brits this year - putting their US career first. If you put your priorities in the right order - you will stand a better chance of winning The Brits anyway.
Mart	That opens another can of worms MM. If the artist is used to being in, lets say, a "party atmostphere",they could well feel awkward on the night and less creative the next day as a result. You could not have taken, for example, the Alex Harvey Band, to the Brits, knowing they were in the studio the next day and expect them to not have a tipple. They would have just been uncomfortable.
Manager Man	Sensible manager - looking after his artist's best interests.
