Being announced in 5 minutes on 6music! As always, I'd stay off twitter afterwards :lol:

Oh they're doing it one at a time :lol: first up is Laura Marling. I'll check back once they've done them all.

Dua Lipa!! That'll turn a few heads

Porridge Radio now, brilliant to see them there

 

(I'm listening to the whole thing now :lol:)

Ayyy Sports Team!

Kano now, haven't heard it but the clips they just played sounded decent.

Anna Meredith, another one I haven't heard but I'll have to now! Sounds euphoric

Laura Marling's fourth nomination! Incredible.

 

Great to see her, Dua and Kano announced.

Loving the sound of Anna Meredith from this.

Take That and the Spice Girls have been nominated at the Mercurys before, never knew that :lol:

 

(it's a great to comeback to people complaining they're too mainstream now!)

Georgia! So well deserved.

Georgia now! This is shaping to be one of the best years for me

Lanterns on the Lake next, I've only heard this name a few times - I'll have to check them out.

nicest list so far, cannot complain

 

bit nervous there's no FKA twigs yet

how many nominees are there gonna be? 10?

how many nominees are there gonna be? 10?

12, I think

drummer Moses Boyd now, another one that sounds good from the clips

bit nervous there's no FKA twigs yet

Same. It's got to be on there, surely?

Also nervous for Jessie Ware and Rina Sawayama, was really really hoping they'd both make it

nice there are so many female alt-singer songwriters nominated

 

of course they had to have the 1 jazz album, but Moses is cool

Charli XCX! Wasn't expecting her at all, but it's a pleasant surprise.

wow that's unexpected
