It was a nice contrast between the Awards Show and the gorgeous Bob Copper family film, I thought - and very decent of BBC TV to have run them like that. On the one hand, the professional folk world shown in a generally good light, on the other the real tradition - each good and important in its own way and I enjoyed both. The Awards show didn't do the old folkrockers, Oysters & Steeleye, many favours and whereas the elderly Bob Copper came over as charming, the elderly Tom Paxton was a bit embarrassing. But everybody else was good. Putting Bellowhead and the rapper side on at the beginning was the oddest thing though. I thought they stole the show, which is usually better placed at the end! The only shame was that there weren't many of the scene's younger performers featured - although I thought I spotted a few in the audience. Maybe they could give a spot to the winner of the Young Tradition award.
