Tomorrow (2 June) is the closing date for nominations for this year's Mercury Prize with the shortlist being announced on 20 July. What albums do you think will be nominated? A special gold star for anyone who can come up with one of the obligatory surprise nominations such as last year's Speech Debelle.
I think Mumford & Sons will probably make the list. I'll need to look back at the year's releases (July to July) to see whether anything else comes to mind.

Chew Lips and God Help The Girl as possible surprise nominations. But the last year has not been vintage for British music.

Yes, Irish acts have always been eligible and there have been several nominated in the past:
U2
Gemma Hayes

Fionn Regan
Lisa Hannigan

^yes, Lisa Hannigan was nominated last year, best thing to come out of Ireland like ever!!!!!
I think this year will be between Laura Marling and Mumford & Sons, that's the stuff the Mercuries like...

That would be a depressing list. It could be a list of nominees for most years since about 1992.

They won't all make it onto the list anyway, but I imagine a good selection of those will. Maybe Fionn Regan again as well? Chew Lips is a good bet also.
