Last month Belle & Sebastian took to the stage at the NME Awards 2014 with Austin, Texas to perform their track ‘I Want The World To Stop’.

The band picked up the Outstanding Contribition award at the bash, which took place at London’s Brixton Academy. They played the track from 2010 album ‘Belle And Sebastian Write About Love’ to an audience which included Godlike Genius winners Blondie, Paul McCartney, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker, Lily Allen and more.

Picking up their award, Belle & Sebastian referenced David Bowie’s message at the Brit Awards, in which Kate Moss said on his behalf, “Scotland, stay with us.” Belle & Sebastian’s Stevie Jackson said: “England stay with us – at least just for a night. And if we do leave you, I hope we’ll always be friends.”
