This is cool.
Last night at the Classic Brit Awards the soldiers of the Royal Scots Dragoons won the award for best album. They recorded it in Iraq while they were doing their primary job of driving tanks.

The beat out the competition of people who are big name professional musicians and this is the first time the award has been won by non-professionals.
Music biz in the UK is a little different than the US. You can get things out of the ordinary. I recall when I lived there back in the 1980's that a church group singing classical songs made it onto the top 10 of the pop charts.
