Hyundai Mercury Prize 2020 Winner To Be Announced On The One Show
New plans emerge...
There will be no *Hyundai Mercury Prize* ceremony in 2020, it has been confirmed.
The annual event is a fixture on the music calendar, a celebration of British and Irish album releases from the previous 12 months.
