I've just listened to Mike Harding's programme on Listen Again.
I don't know about the awards, I heard some music I like, some I don't much care for on the programme. But I'm happy for anything that gets people listening to folk of all kinds.

What infuriated me was the way he played it. Little clips of everyone nominated.

I it is worth nominating for an award its worth playing a whole track.

But he just got us interested in the story that the song was telling, then jolted us into something else.
Very clever no doubt, but not good listening.
