Well at least I helped flag up Radio 2 Folk programme and its annual awards programme

Once again it seems no televised version ~ this for me is an opportunity missed

seen some great acts recently at Warwick and Saltburn who are "doing it"

selection Martin Windham Read and Iris Bishop, Bill Adair, Keith Donnelly, Miriam Backhouse, Chris Sherburn & Denny and Emily, the Hut People, Tom McConville, Dog Watch, Monkeys Fist, The Wilsons, Les Barker
Stan Accrington,Paul Walker & Karen Pfeiffer, Flossie and whole hog full of local heroes wherever you go

One wonders if the Awards nominees has a regional bias ~ well I don't know!! or perhaps the nominators have a different agenda?
