Cathy Davey leads Choice betting

Cathy Davey’s Tales Of Silversleeve has been installed as the 5-2 favourite to win this year’s Choice Music Prize, which is worth a none too shabby €10,000 to the winner.

Before sticking your granny’s life savings on the Dubliner, we ought to remind you that last year’s winner was The Divine Comedy’s 40-1 rank outsider, Victory For The Comic Muse.
The rest of the runners and riders are:
Delorentos – In Love With Detail @ 11-4
Roisin Murphy – Overpowered @ 5-1
Adrian Crowley – Long Distance Swimmer @ 5-1
The Flaws – Achieving Vagueness @ 8-1
David Geraghty – Kill Your Darlings @ 10-1
Super Extra Bonus Party – Super Extra Bonus Party @ 12-1
Stanley Super 800 – Louder & Clearer @ 12-1
Kila – Gambler’s Ballet @ 20-1
Dry County – Unexpected Falls @ 25-1
Most of those acts are expected to be in attendance on February 27 when the cheque and a nice trophy for the mantelpiece are handed out in Vicar St., Dublin.
Tickets priced €27 are on sale now to the general public, but if you can’t make it, fear not, because all the action will be carried live by Today FM on Tom Dunne’s Pet Sounds.
