Not eveyone wants to be a performer.
think anything that gets our music listened to by a wider range of people must be a good thing, nonwithstanding the good or bad, likes or dislikes, of the awards.
In my youth most of us started out either coming from The Spinnners end of the spectrum or from Steeleye Span / Fairport end. Thereby starting a liftime journey of discovery.
