Mercury Music Prize Nominations

Mercury Music Prize Nominations for PRS for Music Foundation funded acts

We are very proud to have funded 3 of this year's Mercury Music Price nominated acts:

Sam Lee

Django Django

Roller Trio

Both Sam Lee and Django Django received funding from PRS for Music Foundation through our British Music Abroad programme. Sam Lee will be heading over to WOMEX in Greece next month (Oct 2012), and Django Django showcase at SXSW in USA back in March 2012.

Roller Trio received funding through our Organisations & Groups scheme this year to support their album launch tour around the UK.

As well as their Mercury Music Prize nomination, Django Django have also up for Best New Band at the Q Awards.
