13 Jun 15 - 10:21 AM (#3716367) Subject: RE: Ashley Hutchings ,Honoured From: DMcG It is a bit of a mystery, though, why Kathryn gets an OBE, which is "higher rank" than MBE, where Ashley Hutchings and the Waterson:Carthy's reside. Not that I begrudge her getting the recognition in the slightest ... |

13 Jun 15 - 10:35 AM (#3716368) Subject: RE: Ashley Hutchings ,Honoured From: MGM·Lion These 'Member Officer Commander Knight/Dame' distinctions often seem a bit arbitrary, don't they? But it is the recognition that the person deserves to be honoured by having their achievements and contributions publicly acknowledged that is the point of the exercise. Congratulations to Kathryn Tickell likewise. ≈M≈ |

It's a nice surprise when British - and in this case English - traditional music gets official recognition. Where, I wonder, does the Establishment get its advice from? |

19 Jun 15 - 03:54 PM (#3717595) Subject: RE: Ashley Hutchings ,Honoured From: GUEST,Guest Just a thought, but could the fact that kathryn T founded a charity to help young musicians and has raised over £100,000 for that charity have anything to do with it? As well as all the teaching she has done over many years. |
