By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 18 April 2012
More details have been announced for the inaugural GIT Award, the “Scouse Mercury Prize” set up by music blog Getintothis in recognition of Liverpool’s best new music. The final twelve have been chosen from over 381 entries and the overall winner will be announced by John Robb at a ceremony on 27 Apr.
