I keep hearing that the idea of these awards is to raise the profile of folk music. So is the BBC trying to do this or raise the profile of digital television? Well I reckon whatever it is doing, it is not succeeding. To raise the profile of folk it has to be stuck under the noses of the general public, that means BBC1 or possibly 2. The Beeb and the printed media are a long way from giving folk music the attention it deserves.
