British Sea Power To Assasinate Jim Davidson

British Sea Power have revealed that were they to win this year’s Mercury Music Prize they’d hire a ne’er-do-well killer to put paid to the life and work of Big Break presenter Jim Davidson.

Speaking to Orange in an enjoyable little online television programme about Brighton (wherein they can be found praising the sea air, iodine, donkey derbys, and a local electrical goods shop), BSP guitarist Martin Noble remarks "If we won 25 grand I’d get a contract killer and send them after Jim Davidson."

British Sea Power’s Sing Ye From The Hillsides festival at the Tan Hill alehouse in Yorkshire takes place this weekend. While we’re on the subject, refresh yourselves with The Quietus British Sea Power film from the Natural History Museum:
