Choice shortlist out
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 13 January 2011
The shortlist is out for this year’s Choice Music Prize which, as I’m sure I don’t have to tell you people, is sort of the Irish version of the Mercury Music Prize. Ten contenders for the ‘album of the year’ prize have been selected by a panel of eleven music media types in Ireland. The overall winner, who gets ten thousand euros, will be announced on 3 Mar at an event in Dublin, with live coverage due to air on Irish radio station Today FM. And here is the shortlist.
Adebesi Shank – This Is The Second Album Of A Band Called Adebisi Shank (Richter Collective)
The Cast of Cheers – Chariot (Self Released)
Cathy Davey – The Nameless (Hammer Toe Records)
