Who Knows Where the Time goes voted Favourite Track at awards last night!

But not my favorite Sandy track, let alone overall Folk track. Title: Re: Win for Sandy/Fairport at BBC Folk Awards Post by: davidmjs on February 06, 2007, 12:35:28 PM Personally I don't think it's a Folk track at all...and unlike MotL or Matty Groves it's one of those songs which you can't get quite 'involved' in enough to really enjoy anybody other than Sandy sing it live....
But it's a great song and I'm glad Sandy and the band have been recognised again.

I should jolly well think so too, about bloody time!

I think the most diplomatic response I can give to this is repeat the fact that I think it's a great song.....

My favourite song of all time. Gorgeous arrangement and playing, and wonderful lyrics. Title: Re: Win for Sandy/Fairport at BBC Folk Awards Post by: Jules Gray on February 07, 2007, 09:29:44 AM It's a truly great song - one of the best of all time. But folk? No, I wouldn't say so.
But for sure it's a song that deserves to be honoured. It's haunted me since I was about 10 years old when I heard it on the radio. (It only took me another 18 years to get Unhalfbricking!)

Well-chosen words, hit just the right note. What a pity they wheeled on former comedian and full-time lummox Bill Oddie to introduce it.
