The Choice Prize for Irish album of 2016 will be revealed this Thursday, March 9. John Barker, the host of 98FM's Totally Irish show, joined me to run through the nominees - consider this your crash course in the Choice Prize. We've both been judges in the past, and considering our thoughts on this shortlist, it seems like we wouldn't agree if we were back in the judging room this year.

The nominees:
All Tvvins - IIVV (Warner Music)
Bantum - Move (Self Released)
Wallis Bird - Home (Mount Silver / Caroline International)
The Divine Comedy - Foreverland (Divine Comedy Records)
Lisa Hannigan - At Swim (Play It Again Sam)
Katie Kim - Salt (Art For Blind Records)
James Vincent McMorrow - We Move (Faction Records)
Overhead, The Albatross - Learning to Growl (Self Released)
Rusangano Family - Let The Dead Bury The Dead (Self Released)
We Cut Corners - The Cadences Of Others (Delphi)

Thanks to Steve McEvoy as ever for the production
