Mercury Prize 2016 Nominations
Lauren announces the shortlist for the 2016 Mercury Prize, chats to the nominees and spins the music that impressed this year's judges. We welcome the artists nominated for the prestigious music prize to the studio, fresh from hearing the news. Interviews with Skepta, Bat For Lashes, Michael Kiwanuka, Laura Mvula, Kano, Jamie Woon, The Comet Is Coming and The 1975. Not all artists were there on the day so we feature clips of Radiohead, Anohni and Savages from their recent visits to 6 Music. You can also hear Jarvis Cocker's thoughts on David Bowie's shortlisted album, 'Blackstar'.
