From 1945 - 2200 you can listen to the Folk Awards ceremony as it happens or watch the whole event online or on digital TV by pressing the Red Button. Video highlights will also be available online and via the Red Button the following day.
Incidentally, there are 4 days left to listen again to the Celtic Connections broadcast of Wednesday on BBC Radio 2; Ricky Ross brings you highlights of Celtic Connections 2011 from Glasgow. It's Scotland's premier music winter festival with over 1,500 artists playing from the world of folk, roots, world, Americana and traditional music. Ricky talks to the names from this year's event and brings you live music from Tom Jones(traditional Welsh songs), Mavis Staples, Justin Townes Earle, Dick Gaughan and Muntu Valdo.
