Thread Name: 2005 BBC folk awards - opinions?
Subject: RE: 2005 BBC folk awards - opinions?
Well, I enjoyed it. I thought it represented the people I see and hear at my club and the festivals I go to, plus a few I now want to go and see, plus (inevitably) a few that just didn't sound good on the night. No, it didn't give an award to everyone who might be thought worthy - nothing for Threllfall Ellison and Edwards, if I can name one - but we all have our favourites.

For the BBC to put on that, followed by the superb Copper family film, and an hour of June Tabor magic.....let's give them a bit of praise where it is due, not be forever whinging into our beer and sandals!   Now for the repeat on a more accessable channel?
