Interesting comment by Chris Evans on the radio this morning - He went to the ceremony and was stunned by the quality of entertainment. Maybe we will get more airtime on mainstream radio! He commented particularly on Cara Dillon who, in his words, would win hands down anything run by Simon Cowell - but does not want to! I think the same can be said of a lot of folk acts - coming back to Paul's point above. Most people in the 'folk industry' are more than happy to do what they do without the fame and glamour of pop music. So, indeed, why have an awards ceremony? Although I must say I am looking forward to seeing on iPlayer myself:-)
