JAJ Posts: 14283	Posted: 08-Feb-2011 16:10 Are these not last year's winners? It's certainly great to see so many new acts "breaking through" on the English folk scene..... :-)) Nevertheless, congratulations to Ewan McLennan on his award and "adoption" into the family.
Tattie Bogle Posts: 3676	Posted: 11-Feb-2011 00:42 Yes, well done Ewan. And some of my other favourites, Bellowhead, and Andy Cutting, and Eliza and Norma (and best wishes to Norma for her continuing recovery). A certain acceptance speech caused me to leave the room, though. Had been listening on radio when I found it was "on the red button on any BBC channel on TV" so managed to watch most of it.
