Sunderland Lass favourite to win Mercury Music Prize

[Boot Cleaner]

Think you and me must have different definitions of back in the day.

Anything a few years ago is back in the day for me

All the people in Whitburn say they are from Sunderland

They certainly dont.

No surprise that Wolf Alice won. Nadine Shah has 300k+ on her best YouTube video while WA has 3.9 million.

NS has one commercially viable track in Fool, the rest are in the Echo/Nick Cave category.

NS comes across canny in interviews and as a proud South Shields lass deserves our support but a lot of people stand to fill their boots with this winner.

 

[darius]

Lived in Cleadon for the majority of her youth and then Westoe village.

So always South Tyneside and South Shields then.

 

[Aituk7]

So she didn't win... f***ing south tynesider

If only there'd been a power cut this would have been a congratulations thread

 

[Vinyl Score]

Bland indie-by-numbers wins, so dull.

Bland indie-by-numbers wins, so dull.

It really wasn't a great shortlist, in terms of stuff pushing boundaries.

Just cos it's commercial doesn't mean it's the best album.

Aye, she’s nee Dave Stewart out of Eurythmics like.

 

[bu-bu-buchanon]

Like Emeli Sandé?

Hates Sunderland.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Also a Sunderland Lad who first signed her up to his artist management company (this is the company - https://www.magneticmag.com/2017/05...r-love-of-music-at-the-center-of-their-focus/)

Although despite being born and raised in Sunderland, he ended up supporting the Mags

He used to DJ on nights I put on and he's got no interest in football as far as I know. Haven't spoken to him for years, mind.

 

[Boris Bear]

They certainly dont.

Of course they do

 

[darius]

Of course they do

Absolute rubbish, as usual.

Hates Sunderland.

Her biography describes Sunderland as "a cumbrian town"

Canny article in the Guardian a few days ago;

Nadine Shah: ‘My personal life was so awful I wanted to escape’

The old fella at the end of the bar in the Jolly Sailor is ex Sunderland director Ted Evans.

I saw her a few years ago at the Cluny supporting Ghostpoet and I was pretty unimpressed. However, she comes across really well in that interview and her performance last night at the Mercury Awards was tremendous. I do believe Lucas Renney from the Golden Virgins is sometimes her guitarist and she's done Golden Virgin covers in her sets before. Despite the fact that she's a private school girl I think she's alright.
