Our Guide To This Year's Mercury Music Prize Nominations

The 24th edition of the annual Barclaycard Mercury Prize is due to be held on Wednesday 29th October at London’s Roundhouse.

Last week we brought you our analysis of who we thought would make the dozen-strong shortlist from which the judges will pick the eventual winner. We got five out of the twelve correct, not bad as many pundits have expressed surprise at the relative obscurity of this year’s list in comparison to previous awards.

Only two of the nominated albums have reached the Number 1 spot in the UK Albums Chart, and only one nominee can realistically call himself a household name. There has also been a surprising snub for Sam Smith, who has made a huge impression on the British public’s imagination, with his debut album In The Lonely Hour sitting at the top the charts four months after its release.

Nick Mulvey - Interview


Interview With Nick Mulvey March 2014

Former Portico Quartet percussionist Nick Mulvey is now due to release his first solo album 'First Mind' three years after he first set out as a stand-alone musician. In that time, he has released two EPs ('The Trellis' and 'Fever To The Form') and took a long break away from the music industry to further study his passion for songwriting.

He's already had a fulfilling journey as a musician, having travelled around the world picking up influences in various cultural genres and even enrolling at a guitar school in Cuba as a teenager. We caught up with him to talk about 'First Mind' (due for release on May 12th 2014), splitting from Portico Quartet and his exciting plans for 2014.

Contactmusic: Hi Nick, how are you doing?
Nick Mulvey: Very good. We're on tour; it's about four weeks in total, the whole thing and we're having a blast! There's a couple of things that are different about this tour for me because we're doing it in B&Bs rather than hotels so we've got quite intriguing venues wherever we arrive.
