More awards, and Canadian singer songwriter Patrick Watson was yesterday awarded the 2007 Polaris Music Prize, which, as you all surely know, is the Canadian version of the Mercury Music Prize. The Montreal based musician won the prize for his album 'Close To Paradise', and gets $20,000 as a reward. So well done him.
Commenting on his win, Watson said: "I don't know if you noticed but the bands that played tonight and the bands that we were nominated were pretty amazing. It's kind of like a responsibility at that point to win over those great acts".
