BBC Young Folk award is this Friday in the Sage in Gateshead. Anyone going? Looks like a great lineup and is sure to be a fab night.

There is no category for 'new folk' which you could be considered for, shall we start one?

Last year - whilst they played a short version of the finalists on Mike Harding - the whole of th show was available on the BBC website.

I see that last year's winner Lauren MacColl is appearing at the 2006 Gosport & Fareham Easter Festival in Hampshire just down the road from my Winchester home.

The Festival Organiser Peter Chegwyn told me last week that three of this year's finalists from Scotland, Bodega, Matheu Watson and Shona Donaldson, are all well worth hearing.

Peter goes to the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow every January and is always impressed by the musical talent north of the border.

"They just get younger and better" he says.

Saw Lauren MacColl at Cambridge.

Superb.

Any of this year's finalists will be a worthy winner.

Bodega. High energy unusual mix of bagpipes harp 2fiddles guitar dumbek (or similar). Good musicians.

Nobody did anything other than superbly. Sound had a number of glitches which shouldn't happen with a team of professionals in a top class venue (and what a venue!)

Looks like the Gosport Easter Festival guy got it right!

The standard of performance from all the finalists was exceptionally high. Bodega deserved to win but all the finalists deserve great praise.
