Hi all! Hope your all well?
Here, hot from the Folk Awards Show are the winners for 2012 (a few suprises too!)
Folk Singer of the Year - June Tabor
Best Duo - Tim Edey & Brendan Power
Best Group - June Tabor & Oysterband
Best Album - June Tabor & Oysterband
Best Original Song - (Joint Winners!!!) Bella Hardy & Steve Tilston
Best Traditional Track - June Tabor & Oysterband (Bonny Bunch of Roses)
Horizon Award - Lucy Ward
Musician of the Year - Tim Edey
Best Live Act - The Home Service
BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award - Ioscaid
How on earth the judges pick a winner, (who are they by the way?) is beyond me! They are all worthy 'folkists'. And very, very good luck to them for the future.
Just had a quick glance at the competition entries and it looks like we have FIVE winners ('clever Dicks'), which is great. Will email them in the morning and be sending them a super mug posthaste! I was glad not to have twenty one winners as I only have twenty mugs!! I will now think up another competition for March as your response was super and many thanks (and laughs).
It will soon be congrats' to Kate (Rusby) and Damien on the arrival of young folkie No2. I think she is giving performance a rest for a while but working hard for us at home. See you all in Sep/Oct 2012.
Just before I go a mention for 'Folk Radio UK', (http://www.folkradio.co.uk/). Found them by accident on the 'interweb'. Looks like a good site and 'listen'. Will check them out and report back soon. TTFN, Phil.
