"It's an interesting shortlist - I'm intrigued to see that so many of the applications are interdisciplinary or inter-genre in some way."

"A thrilling shortlist! What a great range of ideas."

"I think that the shortlist represents a cross-section of all the exciting new music activity that is happening in the UK at the moment. It's great that exciting and off-the-wall projects are being thought up by such talented artists!"
