As I was saying earlier, it's the opportunity to catch up with good people that makes the Folk Awards for me. The great and the good were piling into The Brewery this evening when I bumped into these three fine figures: Dick Gaughan, actor Geoffrey Hughes and fiddle maestro Aly Bain. Amongst such great folkies mingled famous folk fans like Radiohead drummer Philip Selway, actor Bob Hoskins, Crowded House's Neil Finn, poet Ian Mcmillan, and musicians as diverse as Nitin Sawhney and Benny Gallagher.
Our guests tonight were entertained by the frenetic Moulton Morris Men, accompanied by the tremendous melodeon playing of Simon Care and Saul Rose.
The dancers formed an archway under which the guests filed into the Porter Tunn room in anticipation of a great night of world class music, and a real celebration of all things folk.
