Hello you catters
Interesting thread guess things have not improved since we stopped listening to the Mike Harding show ayear or so ago.
I hope the awards are not fixed as some seem to be implying here,but if they are why are they any different to all those other trade awards that are handed out every year?
You know? The ones were the major award winners seem to be the same as the list of sponsors of the event.
Someone was making a point about the tradition being fixed?
I presume in the context of there being some sort of a cut of date and anything after that is not Traditional.
It makes me laugh when a bunch of middle class wazzocks start howling and whining when they suspect that they are not being treated fairly in some way.
Grow up and get real most of the rest of your felow human beings on this planet spend all their lives being shat on by the "professional" classes.
If you want to be included in BBC folk awards go and lick arse its what you are good at.(sorry my mate ,I obviously meant do some networking! he he.)
If you are not intersted in winning it then why not go write a song about it instead of starting yet another whinge on here?
Oh BTW whats the best guitar to buy?
Merry Xmas one and all.
