LesB "Really enjoyed Bellowhead, but a bit cheeky pinching half of the Demon Barbers Roadshow (Who should have been nominated!!!)."

Hi Les, I agree that the Demons should have been nominated, but this from an email to their mailing list suggests they were more than happy to be there:

"It's not so long ago that we announced our new managers...Queen Mab's Music.
Now we have been offered the opportunity of celebrating this in style!…a collaboration with one of their top acts at the Radio 2 Folk Awards 2005.
bellowhead have been nominated for both 'best group' and 'best live act' and will be opening the party with a specially adapted version of copshawholme fair.
Somehow The Demon Barber Roadshow are going to join them with:
Bry - fiddle; Ben - percussion; Tiny & Fi – clogs; Damien, Lee, Will, Andy & Dave – rapper.
Total people on stage: 20…what fun!"

Cheers, Pat.
