Thread Name: should the BBC folk awards be scrapped
Subject: RE: should the BBC folk awards be scrapped
No they shouldn't be scrapped, in spite of my flippant remarks about flaneurs on the other thread. Ms Easby hit the nail on the head about what the awards are actually for. I also don't think that SmoothOps are the devil incarnate as painted by certain folks.   

It would be nice to see the awards on TV though, the BBC could use Woss's unpaid three months worth of salary to do a series of 10 programmes in Hi-Def. Then there'd still be lots of spare cash to resuscitate the aborted documentary on Sandy Denny.
