Yes, I watched it and it was, indeed, very predictable. Having said that the winners deserved their laurels.

As to the folk club and being put off by the 'professional' setting of Hitchin Folk Club. Some years ago I went with Mingulay and were told that the club did not have 'floor spots'. We were informed that the only singers apart from the booked guest were resident singers who were booked in advance.

We went back to our old, very friendly, club at the Ongley Arms, Eye.

The folk awards were followed by a prog about the Coppers, especially Bob. This was an excellent documentary! I wonder if anyone else was moved to tears at the end?
