The NI Music Prize ended with a special presentation to the band Therapy?, who formed in 1989, this marks their 25 year anniversary. They were presented with an Oh Yeah Legend Award for their achievements.
The band performed their 1994 ‘Troublegum’ album with a few encores, ending with the classic 'Potato Junkie'
Honestly the best night I've had in a long time, great atmosphere. Thanks to Therapy? for letting me access the VIP area.
