fi_in_nz BBC 2006 folk award results (44) RE: BBC 2006 folk award results 11 Feb 06

Good points from Hallamshire Tradie - pretty shocking to hear that there are "suggestions to jog your memory" - so who comes up with these?, the promoters? I listened to the awards and it sounded pretty much like a Mike Harding show to me. Friends of friends and the "in" club. Eliza Carthy said it all when she was giving out an award and she said " this man has been a good friend of the family for many years"........ what about all those great musicians who don't know the Carthy's/haven't been "on the scene" for 30 years? How about bringing some new voices to the masses?

Since there are so many of us complaining, how about a Mudcat British Folk Awards?????
