GUEST,twickfolk BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2011 Nominations (72* d) RE: BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2011 Nominations 19 Jan 11


Agree with much of that, spleen cringe.

When I heard Barbara Dickson mention Donovan's upcoming award I feared the knives would be out for him. It's a shame in many ways. Like it or not these awards are funded by the BBC and they need to reach and appeal to more people than those who follow the folk scene closely. The recipient of a Lifeime Achievement isn't going to go to an infantryman, it's going to have to go to someone whose name registers not only with the Simon Mayos of this world but also with the Sally Traffics.
Donovan fits the bill so he gets the award. Quite rightly (some might say)
