My heroes
I arrived at the The Brewery this evening to the familiar strains of 'I Fought The Law' by The Clash, but played on mandolin, uilleann pipes and fiddle. It could only be Adrian Edmondson and his Bad Shepherds (aka Andy Dinan and Troy Donockley), wrapping up their soundcheck in the otherwise empty Porter Tunn room. Brilliant stuff.
Another year gone, and I can't believe it's our eleventh ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Radio 2 Folk Awards. The guests will be arriving shortly and I'm looking forward to catching up with some old faces who I sadly don't see often enough. The wonderful Robin Dransfield is coming tonight, as is my hero, the great Dick Gaughan. Dick's picking up a Lifetime Achievement Award later, and I'm sure you'll agree he is a most deserving recipient.
