Irish singer CMAT has said her country’s recent musical success comes from a “generation of traumatised people”, ahead of the Mercury Prize award ceremony.
The 29-year-old is nominated alongside fellow Irish act Fontaines DC at the event in Newcastle, for her album Euro-Country, and told the PA news agency their success came as a result of “a lot of bad fruits coming to harvest”, and added she is “very excited” about the awards.
