On The Red Carpet At The Barclaycard Mercury Prize
Xfm's Sunta was down at the ceremony, armed with a microphone. Here's what happened...
Speech Debelle
Well, she stormed home with the prize, but how was she feeling beforehand? She was trying to bribe judge John Kennedy...
Florence And The Machine
The bookies' (and critics) strode the red carpet like an Amazon in her stunning outfit. She was hungry. For food, not necessarily the prize.
Bat For Lashes
Natasha Khan was a bit nervous, but still had her eye on the prize after being snubbed back in 2007...
Friendly Fires
A noticeably poorly but buoyant Fires struggled into the Grosvenor House Hotel to chat about their hopes for the evening...
Glasvegas
With singer James Allan AWOL, it looked like the band may have played the 'Fraggle Rock' theme at the ceremony. It didn't happen. Boo.
Kasabian
The newly coiffured Tom Meighan claims he's "dizzy" before the event kicks off. Sit down and have a cup of tea, dammit!
La Roux
Elly J is on top form and amazed to be at the event. The girls talk outfits and general excitement.
The Horrors
The spooky-haired quintet were hoping their "more palatable" second album might do the trick...
The Invisible
They were being namechecked by pretty much everyone on the night, but the trio themselves were very 'umble about the whole thing...
Lisa Hannigan
The singer songwriter from Ireland was ready to get down to the business of playing... and had been doing her homework on the other nominees. Respect.
Sweet Billy Pilgrim
They've been asked "How are you feeling?" fifteen times and they're either terrified or looking forward to it.
