Nationwide Mercury Prize

[Bat Brain]

The Mercury Music Prize is a music award given annually for the best British or Irish album of the previous 12 months. It was established in 1992 as an alternative to the industry-dominated Brit awards.

I made a thread for last years awards and it died after about 10 posts, hopefully this one will do better.
