Mercury Prize Nominations Announced

Posted Tue 22 Jul 2008 12:30PM BST by Mitch Carter in The Guestlist

Nominations for The Nationwide Mercury Prize were announced today.

"This turns out to be a remarkably rich year for British music," says Simon Frith, Chair of Judges. "What is most striking is the continued resilience and flexibility of the album as a way of organising music-making. It remains an unrivalled source of musical invention and imagination, a way of linking songs, exploring themes and developing sounds that is endlessly thrilling, surprising and worth celebration."

The winner of this year's Nationwide Mercury Prize will be announced live on BBC Two on Tuesday 9 September 2008 as part of the BBC's coverage of the Awards Show.
