Mercury Music Prize
Florence And The Machine - Lungs
South London songstress Florence Welch has had a whirlwind 12 months since she first delighted audiences on the 2008 summer festival circuit. Since then the singer has locked herself away with a renowned production trio of Paul Epworth, James Ford and Steve Mackie to hone her sound and give birth to a debut album Lungs, which has matched critical acclaim with commercial success.
