SOAS home grown band, Portico Quartet, nominated for Mercury Award

Our boys have been awarded for a Mecury award (link to BBC). Good luck guys. After all those long days playing in the rain on the Southbank, and all the free concerts you gave at SOAS and around London, you deserve it.

See their Myspace page for all their songs: http://www.myspace.com/porticoquartet

This is not the best sound quality but it has, in the background, our lovely 'War Is Not Our Language' banner which we made in the main courtyard. Written in 47 languages including 3 different scripts from Afghanistan-only at SOAS! Typically, I lost this beautiful banner in a post-demo pub :-(
