Mixed Fortunes at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards!

Your opinions welcome.................

As you know I enjoy playing traditional music on a variety of GDAE tuned instruments. But when push comes to shove I'm 'just' a fan of our kind of music. So, is it me or were the awards just a touch bland? Now don't get me wrong all the winners are super and well deserve recognition for their performances, but....You know what I mean! I'm sure it cannot be me when 'The Home Service' beat 'Bellowhead' to 'Best Live Act', summat is wrong!. Don McKlean's 'guitar tech' needs shooting. Please do not shoot Don McLean, he's an all round 'good egg' but not overly good on the singing front. When it came to Best Original Song and the Young Folk Award, I'm glad it was not me who had to choose. All of them fantastic. If you had a listen at 'half time' I'm sure you will agree the 'kids' sounded great.
This is a bit 'cat among pigeons' or 'food for thought', I enjoyed them all the same. Roll on next year when I will be nominated for 'Biggest Prat', will you be on the list with me?
