does anyone know if ALL the acts are playing this? I know from a mate that the chalets can't cos they're supporting the bloody Kaiser Chiefs in Paris. But i'd like to see Hal (to see if they're any good), Cane 141 and this Julie Feeney one. nothing on the official website about it.

From last weeks Ticket; David Reid (co-ordinator of the Choice Music Prize) says that nine of the 10 shortlisted acts will be performing on the night. The only band missing will be The Chalets, who have the support slot at a Kaiser Chiefs gig in Paris that night. "We're just going to put the 12 panellists in a room on the night and wait for them to make their decision," he says. Reid expects a fair few international music-business types to attend the Vicar St show. He sees it as an ideal showcase for the selected bands and hopes that next year's event will be televised.

cheers mully, didnt see that
