Patrick Watson scoop Polaris Music Prize

In contention were the likes of Arcade Fire, The Dears, Feist and Junior Boys.

Although indeed fronted by a young chap by the name of Watson, they’re a proper four-piece band who’ve released two albums – 2003’s Just Another Ordinary Day, and the one that’s made them $20,000 richer, Close To Paradise.

Superb last week in The Sugar Club, the Montreal quartet return to these shares on November 13 for a show in the Dublin Ambassador.
