Tonight's UKNY at 11 is a brand new "repeat" show of sorts, looking back on the twelve 2015 Mercury Prize nominees. The eventual winner of that very prestigious award was north London's Benjamin Clementine for his striking debut album, At Least For Now. Clementine is headed back to New York soon too, playing Irving Plaza on June 8.
The other shortlisted 2015 artists we'll hear tonight include Wolf Alice, Jamie xx, C Duncan, Ghostpoet and many others.
Away for the long weekend? You can always catch up to UKNY on demand in the FUV weekend archives up to two weeks after broadcast.
