Mercury Music Prize 2007 nominees: Arctic Monkeys
We profile Arctic Monkeys ahead of tonight's big announcement
Name: Arctic Monkeys
Album: 'Favourite Worst Nightmare'
Odds: 17/1
Who: Along with Dizzee Rascal, Arctic Monkeys are the only act to have been nominated twice in this year's list. The Sheffield rockers bagged last year’s prize for their debut album, ‘Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not’, and responded by declaring “Someone call 999 – Richard Hawley’s been robbed!”, referring to their fellow nominee. It’s unlikely they’ll shout the same about Amy Winehouse this evening, but with decent odds on them getting the gong the band are in with a very good shot at being the first band to win the award not only twice but two years in succession.
