Rolling Stone Awards: Sam Fender album People Watching nominated for another national award
Sam Fender’s third album People Watching has been nominated for another national award following his Mercury Prize success.
Fender won the Mercury Prize in October, beating the likes of Pulp and Wolf Alice to claim the award, which is given to the best album of the previous 12 months.
It marked a hometown win for the North East star, who picked up the award at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena - but now there is a chance for more silverware.
