Every year it is the same old shite from the same old people. If you don't like it, don't watch it, you know that you are not going to like it. Simples."
Silas, if you dont like it go away,mean while I will exercise my right to say that the principle of having folk awards,has all the worst aspects of the folk world ,what nxt a eurovision folk song contest?, for god sake, this music is about people making home made music for their own enjoyment,it is not about trying to be the prettiest,most fashionable, most acceptable piece of establishment popfolk disposable sliced white bread pap so called folk.
those who sup with the commercial world of Tin pan alley ,do so at their peril.
there is an old scottish saying it takes a long spoon to sup with a Fifer, it takes a longer spoon to sup with the world of tin pan alley,tin pan alley is infested with businessmen and sharks who make the Fly Fifer a Benevolent Bovine.
