Jape has walked away with the Choice Music Prize and a cheque for ten grand. Richie Egan won for ‘Ritual’, having played the Vicar St award show with Fight Like Apes, Mick Flannery, Halfset, Jape, MJEX and RSAG.
The other nominees on the night were
Fight Like Apes “Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion” (Model Citizen)
Mick Flannery “White Lies” (EMI)
Halfset “Another Way of Being There” (Casino Gravity Records)
Lisa Hannigan “Sea Sew” (Own label)

Oppenheimer “Take The Whole Mid-Range And Boost It” (Fantastic Plastic)

We’re pretty happy with the Choice, and the usual blogosphere anger directed at the Award will be less so this year I reckon!
