Thread Name: BBC Life time Award for the Spinners?
Subject: RE: BBC Life time Award for the Spinners?
Well said folks!! About time indeed. It would be great to see the four lads (and the 'count') get an award. They were the folks scenes 'fab four' in my opinion. What other fold group in the early days could consistently sell out the Free Trade Hall (turning it into a folk club for a night) or the Liverpool Phil?

They appealed to a family audience and tried there best to involve everyone in there shows. No frills, no 'airs & graces', just fab music. Saw Hughie not too long ago at the Open Door folk club in Failsworth and he was as good as ever.

Give em the award. I've e-mailed Mike Harding as suggested above. Fingers crossed.
