Ah, the English Folk Awards.

At least, there's very few surprises in the list.

Why go to the trouble of breaking in new shoes when your old comfy slippers are at hand?

I wonder who will get the lifetime achievement award this time? If the trend is for worn out sixties has beens who have made no contribution to folk music, then how about Cliff Richard?

Hi,

Just to get this straight: 2012 isn't over yet; 2011 has not even ended. These awards are really the Folk Awards 2010/11?


So how do we nominate the Mudcat CD-s This is Us for the 2011/2012 awards, which will be called Folk Awards 2013? (-:

Bye,

Great to see that "On Morecambe Bay" has been nominated in the song section.
Below is a link to the composers version and Christy Moore's take on the song.

Hopefully this will propell Lucy to the next level and she will start getting the headline/main stage spots she deserves.

She works very hard, puts in the hours and gets herself seen, she constantly learns and writes new songs and keeps her sets different and fresh, at Shrewsbury she had three sets and kept all three different, and from what I heard this is not unusual for her, well done Lucy you deserve to win this!

It may not be a 'folk' song but her take on Pulp's common people is brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNrfIRUElGU

They are up for a very well deserved Horizon award though, along with three other equally deserving acts..

But no mention of Lady Maisery yet... Their CD as been on in our car more than any this summer. I must get the Pilgrims Way Cd, the other well deserved nom.

Second the mentions of Lucy Ward; a lot of hard work is paying off.

Delighted to see Pilgrims' Way nominated for the Horizon Award. They're a cracking young band who've been working really hard and are being very well received.

And members of the public will be admitted to this splendid jamboree in Salford simply by producing a note to the value of £10. They are queueing up as I write.
