Silvery Prize 2016 - The The 'Infected'

Steve Lamacq

Available for over a year

If the Mercury Prize had been around in 1986 who would have won? We asked our listeners for their suggestions, and awarded our very own Silvery Prize to The The for their album 'Infected'. Steve spoke to Matt Johnson about creating the album and the honour of receiving such a prestigious award, only to find out that he was hanging out with Silvery rival Johnny Marr!
