Sam Fender was looking very dapper as he hit the red carpet at the Brit Awards on Tuesday evening, while saxophone player Johnny Blue Hat represented the Toon in style by wearing a Newcastle top for the occasion.
The North Shields singer is up for three trophies at the Brit Awards 2022 - Rock/Alternative Act, Artist of the Year and Album of the Year, with him and his band also on this year's list of performers.
Sam and his bandmates look set to have a night to remember at the O2 Arena in London, with them hotly tipped to walk away with at least one award.

Always the biggest night of the year for British music, the Brit Awards is a massive deal for those lucky enough to be there and Sam and his band certainly looked the part.
Sam was suited and booted in grey, while the rest of the band opted for black ensembles.
And, in true Geordie style, Johnny, whose saxophone skills can be heard on Sam's hits like Hypersonic Missiles, Get You Down and Seventeen Going Under, rocked a retro NUFC strip from the 90s for the occasion.

Ahead of the ceremony, guitarist Dean Thompson posted a picture of himself looking nervous in front of a window with the O2 in the background.
He wrote: "JESUS CHRIST. These nerves/excitement are totally overwhelming. Keep your fingers, toes, legs, arms and eyes crossed we don’t absolutely fill our kegs live on TV.
"ITS COMING HOME TO NE29 MAN!!!!! (Manifest, manifest, manifest)"
Liver coverage of this year's Brit Awards gets going at 8pm on ITV, with the red carpet show airing on ITV2 before it.
