Therapy?headline NI Music Prize gig

Successful finalists will be hoping to take home the prize won last year by Bangor’s Foy Vance (‘Joy of Nothing’).

The Northern Ireland Album of the Year will be decided by an Academy of local media and industry professionals following live performances by the shortlisted acts at the Mandela Hall.

The evening will end with a special presentation to the band Therapy?, who formed in 1989. They will be presented with an Oh Yeah Legend Award for their ground-breaking achievements. The band will then perform their 1994 ‘Troublegum’ album, which sold over a million copies and was shortlisted for a Mercury Prize.

Tickets (£12) are available from www.wegottickets.com
