And the winner is...
Benjamin Clementine wins Mercury Prize 2015
Winner was announced at a ceremony in BBC Broadcasting House’s Radio Theatre.
Benjamin Clementine has won the 2015 Mercury Prize for his debut album ‘At Least For Now’.
Clementine pipped the likes of Wolf Alice, Jamie xx, Florence + The Machine and C. Duncan.
Accepting the award, he said: “I’d like to thank music.” He invited every other nominee on stage to celebrate, and dedicated the prize to the lives tragically lost in Paris this time last week.
The winner was announced by Lauren Laverne in a ceremony at BBC Broadcasting House’s Radio Theatre. Unlike the traditional format, performances from shortlisted acts were limited, arriving from Slaves, Eska, Roisin Murphy and Benjamin Clementine. It was a bit weird, in all honesty.
Watch his ‘London’ video below, filmed in Paris.
