Mudcat 2003 Alternative British Folk Awards

If the BBC can be the arbiter of good taste in folk, so can we...

To misquote the Radio 2 site.

March 2003 sees the first year of the Mudcat 2003 Alternative British Folk Awards. Not a prestigious event, but one which celebrates the past year in the world of cyber-assisted folk music. A completely undemocratic and non-representational group of Mudcat members will shortly be voting to pick a winner in each of the categories below.

Nominations are welcomed under each of the following categories (if I've missed any, or you'd like to see non-music items - "best dance group", "best folk drama group" or whatever, please let me know) by next Friday (21st February). Please try to be adventurous!

• PUB / CLUB FOLK SINGER OF THE YEAR
• PUB / CLUB MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR
• BEST "NON COMMERCIAL" GROUP / DUO
• BEST "NON COMMERCIAL" CD
• HORIZONTAL AWARD (Best drinker)
• BEST FOLK CLUB
• BEST PUB SESSION
