I think Suedes album was released after this years due date. So probably next year. And, we don't have to struggle who wins the prize, Suede or Pulp. Hehe.

Yes, just saw Antidepressants was released a week after deadline. Rainy Sunday Afternoon by Divine Comedy a couple of weeks later.  Romance has been out for over a year, so maybe both will be under consideration next year. Interesting that CMAT album was released on deadline day.

Would be nice if pulp won, but they probably wont.

So far, only PJ Harvey won twice. So I doubt they rather give the prize to a band/singer who has never won before?! 
Still hope Pulp win this year.

There is already a video of the opening Pulp's performance tonight on Twitter / X (by Far Our Magazine)

Mark said last night that they will only play one song.

Sam Fender takes the prize, not a huge surprise considering where the awards are being held. Pulp should hold their heads up high!

Agreed. More is a great album that will stand the test of time.

 WTF? Seems a bit rigged having the show in North East.  It's like when M People won...

 Ditto Romance.   Maybe next year they will hold the awards in Derry or Haywards Heath....

Among the shortlist, Sam Fender is not what I expected at all. I saw someone in social media said that he is a safe choice. Anyway, I didnt surprise Pulp didnt win, but kind of disappointed about the result. Sorry if anyone here is Sams fan

Haha, that's so funny re the subtitles! I kinda thought Pulp might win it. I was tempted to put a few euro on them to win. That's a competition that can really go any way really. Of the songs I saw the only ones I enjoyed was the lady from Leeds (I think, her name slips my mind) and Fontaines DC. Didn't enjoy anything else. Missed Pulp unfortunately.

Went up to Newcastle for this with work. Didn't realise it was an 8 on the dot start, as it wasn't televised live, was it? Anyway, just made our seats for Lauren to welcome Pulp on-stage.

Was great to see Hawley on-board. He walked just past us on his way to the backstage area at one stage, having to tell the security who he was!

I enjoyed all the acts tbh, some real variety. A pity neither of the Irish acts performed or won. Seemed like a hometown decision for Fender.

For Pulp, I don't think they were ever going to win. The nomination nod was enough. The prize has to appeal to under 40s in the main and no matter how good their comeback has been, I couldn't see it as being perceived as zeitgeisty or enough of an artistic "statement" to merit a win. I think PJ Harvey is the only person over 40 to have won it (second time).

But the level of cheering in the audience was reassuringly good for Pulp when they played and during the recaps. I think Spike Island was probably the right choice as a performance. Was worried they were going to play Farmers Market and it being a bit of a damp squib.

My colleague mentioned that James Ford was sitting at Fontaines' table. Good to hear that his cancer recovery seems to be going well. More is the last thing he worked on and he's been the most in-demand producer over the last few years (two of his records nom'd for the Mercury this year and last year - Pulp, Fontaines, Beth Gibbon and The Last Dinner Party).

Nick and Candida not overly keen on thinking about new material according to the below although C saying she wouldn't be averse to a single or an EP is hopefully quite telling in itself as the idea of recording is something she's generally been against since the first reunion til Jarvis started it by stealth for More. Maybe that's how he'll have to do it again but with a little less coaxing...

Aww I hope it wasnt the Eavises controversial Glastonbury snub that erased Nick and Candys love of recording music ;)

Don't think Candida has ever been overly enraptured by recording or touring when it's in long bouts.

They're in a position now to pick and choose their gigs and not locked into a multi-album deal so they've a lot of freedom to follow their feelings for future Pulp.
