Fans and critics alike have reacted with mostly positivity following the announcement of Ediburgh trio, Young Fathers' Mercury Music Prize win.
The massive response on the internet showed the majority of the awards' followers were pleased with the decision, despite some confusion regarding the very, very unrelated Young Farmers.
