Thread Name: Yorkshire Folk Awards?
Subject: RE: Yorkshire Folk Awards?
Scrump,

you have seen and commented upon life as it appaers here. This is related to Folkiedave and his appearance(?) on the wireless radio.

Another award should be "Best Traditional Song Written By The Artist".

I think this suggest you have recognised the spirit of the post.

I think the Awards should be open to anyone, anywhere, as is the spirit of the peoples music, but that a certain"Yorkshire perspective" should be observed.

This perspective may, in itself, may provoke discussion.

I lived in Leeds for a year and though I never sort migrant status I felt my perspective on life was for ever altered. For one, the idea that getting drunk on a Monday lunch time was not bad thing.
