VARIOUS ARTISTES Folk Awards 2008 |
||||
Gosh, here we are again at the Folk Awards, when 2007 is still so fresh in the memory – and most of the participants from last year are here again, in this 2 CD compilation of the nominees. At the time of writing, the ceremony has taken place and the runners and riders who have succeeded are now common knowledge (but as far as I’m concerned they all deserve a gong – this collection rocks). Unsurprisingly, Bellowhead, make a triumphant hat-trick of wins in the Best Live Act category (to go alongside their Best Group, 2007 Award). Listening to what turned out to be the Best Original Song (Martin Simpson’s Never Any Good) makes me really appreciate what the expression ‘written from the heart’ truly means – this has to be one of the most moving stories I’ve heard in the last year. |
