Generous Muse
The Muse are believed to gain the Mercury Music Prize. They generously admit, that it would be better to win, for a smaller band. They would benefit more from the £20,000 prize.
Chris Wolstenholme for MTV:
“The thing that’s great about the Mercurys is that it’s based on how good you are rather than how many records you’ve sold.
For the past few years it’s been smaller acts who’ve taken the prize so maybe it’s time a well-known name did it again.
Although saying that, you do win a cash prize so even though we’d love to get maybe it’s fairer if it does go to a smaller act – we don’t need the cash that badly right now.”
