11 September, 2013: Last night in London, the nominees were announced for this year's Mercury Music Prize. Some of the nominees turned up, walked the red carpet and smiled for the paparazzi. Here are some happy photos of critically acclaimed musicians.
The thing with the Mercury Music Prize red carpet is that there will never be a 'nip-slip', and neither will we see a 'side-boob'. It's just not sort of place and besides, Rudimental just aren't the sort to expose themselves in public.
Attendees at the nominations launch in London were nominees including Foals, Disclosure, James Blake and Villagers. Host Lauren Laverne was on the red carpet too, as was Lianne La Havas, who was nominated in 2012.
