Antony & The Johnsons win Mercury Music Prize [2005] + Interview

ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS have won the 2005 NATIONWIDE MERCURY PRIZE with their album ‘I AM A BIRD NOW’.
New York-based but English born Anohni was declared winner at the ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
Reacting to the win, Hegarty said: “I think they must have made a mistake. I am completely overwhelmed. I think that’s insane. It’s kind of like a crazy contest between an orange and a spaceship and a potted plant and a spoon - which one do you like better?”
