I, too, am somewhat underwhelmed by young Moray. The "Animals of Farthing Wood" video band was too twee for words, and he performed the song as if it were a murder ballad. (Sorry, should that be "murdered ballad"?)

Liza does grow more like her Mum, soon her protest piercings will begin to look even more inappropriate and possibly even unseemly.

Joan Baez has aged well, but Maddie Prior has become positively matronly!

I bet Joe Boyd's picture in the attic isn't doing as well as he is.

Milkmaid or no, June Tabor still has it - in spades (or buckets?)

Harding is a pretentious prat, but I suppose he does some good.

Ten years ago we'd have laughed the idea of televised "Folk Awards" off the air. O tempora, o mores!
