Yes I did listen to the BBC Folk Awards prog and it sounded as if it was a really good party, we have some keen folkies in the strangest places! Robin Cook and Stephen Fry! Stephen could make a living on the folk scene a very funny/humorous man

Good vibes to popularise folk into main stream music Radio 1 etc
But live music promoting our heritage alongside new music, home made music and participation. Musician ship is certainly on the up in the youngsters
Onwards and upwards!!
