NI Music Prize 2016
“Let Bad In” by Ciaran Lavery
Twelve albums were shortlisted for the Northern Ireland Music Prize in association with Blue Moon 2016. The winner was announced at a special awards night at the Mandela Hall on November 11th.
Performances on the night came from PORTS, Jealous of the Birds and Girls Names. Co Antrim, singer-songwriter Ciaran Lavery was awarded the Northern Ireland Music Prize 2016.
The artist’s second album, ‘Let Bad In’ was selected as the best release by a selection of music figures from Northern Ireland. More than 70 judges were contacted from the NI music industry and music media. They were invited to cast their votes for the best album of the last 12 months.
“It was a tremendous surprise. To be nominated amongst a host of great albums is in itself worthy enough of celebrating. The bar is set very high in terms of musical quality coming out of Northern Ireland at the moment. It’s a real blast to be a part of that.”
