More details about the event emerge
The full ceremony will be hosted by the Hospital Club at Covent Garden in London. This should be enough to get all those reluctant fans out of bed to watch their favorite stars being honored in this way. An impromptu poll was announced once the list was revealed so that the fans could express their wishes for the winner. The final announcement of the successful entries will be made on the 1st of November. The music critic Alexis Petridis has been offering a knowledgeable review of all the proceedings.
Normally they select 12 albums of the year. An independent judging panel does this work so as to gather a snapshot of the music year. The Mercury Prize 2012 and its predecessors are designed to recognize artistic achievement in different music genres. That is why many artists set a lot of credibility on it. The eligibility period for the current year started from the 12th of July last year and ended on the 10th of September this year. All successful entrees have to come from either British or Irish artists.
The favorites include Jessie Ware, Django-Django, Laura Marling, Kate Bush, ‘The Maccabees’, Sam Lee, Richard Hawley, Plan B, Paul Buchanan, Rustie and Portico Quartet. Of course we cannot forget the newly released Mala in Cuba set which was done by Mala and Gilles Peterson.
