Thread Name: A Mockery (BBC Folk Awards 2009)
Subject: RE: A Mockery
Believe you me - you don't want to know about it stateside - its not our finest hour - or usually our best music.
Theres only about an hour a week of folk music on national networked publicly funded radio. Every year they (BBC) give an award - several awards to their favourite artists.
Someone thinks its a mockery.
A rockery is a sort of garden with rocks in it.
A mockery has mocks in it
Neither of the two is to be confused with a case of buggery - which doesn't have bugs in it.
