WILTSHIRE jazz star Jamie Cullum suffered a double dis-appointment at the 2005 Brit Awards.

Jamie, 25, was nominated for two awards, best British male solo artist and best British live act at the 25th Brit Awards last night.

But he was pipped to the post for each with The Streets winning best solo and Muse taking the honours for the live act at the ceremony in London's Earls Court.

But the west country was well represented when Joss Stone of Somerset was named best female solo and also surprisingly best British urban act.

The results, which will be aired on ITV1 tonight, were a similar ordeal to last year when Jamie missed out on the Brit for best British breakthrough after losing out to the recently separated Busted.

The disappointment comes in the same week that Jamie suffered the embarrassment of receiving the worst British male title in the Naomi Awards.

The Naomi Awards, named after supermodel Naomi Campbell and her short-lived singing career, honour the 'truly terrible' acts of the past 12 months.

They are voted anonymously by record company executives, producers, managers and music journalists.

It meant 2005 got off to a poor start for Cullum who took the music world by storm last year, winning a Mobo award after seeing off competition from Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones to secure the title of best jazz act.

The 25-year-old, who was born in Hullavington and went to Grittleton House School and Sheldon School in Chippenham, started his career by performing gigs across Wiltshire and has since returned to his roots to perform at The Apartment in Havelock Square.

The Mobo is just one of many awards Jamie has received for his music. In September 2004 he was named Solo Artist of the Year by the men's magazine GQ, beating Robbie Williams.

And his first album, Twenty Something, catapulted him to stardom and has sold more than a million copies.
