Guy Garvey Praises 'Incredibly Strong' Mercury Music Prize List

July 24, 2008
Guy Garvey Praises 'Incredibly Strong' Mercury Music Prize ListGuy Garvey has praised the strength of this years Mercury Music Prize nominees, which include his own band, Elbow.

"It's just an incredibly strong list, I've got most of the records on there which is not always the case with the Mercury prize,” he told the BBC.

Despite Elbow being 6/1 second favourite to take home the award, Garvey said he wasn't getting his hopes up too much.

"You never know with the Mercury prize. I was a judge on the Ivors this year and it's such a complicated process to get to a winner because you end up getting really passionate about it,” he said. MO<"If it's anything like that, it's anyone's guess as to who wins. But I'd be really happy with Rachel Unthank, Laura Marling, British Sea Power, The Last Shadow Puppets or Radiohead."
