Title: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on February 12, 2009, 11:44:16 PM The Talkawhile Awards for Folk Music The trophies are now lined up and ready for presentation [;-) We are now looking for people to help with issuing the awards to our winners. As a reminder here is a list of the awards to be made and a note of where, when and by whom each award will be presented:
Please post in this thread or send an IM to one of the moderators if you are able to help with the presentation of an award. Let us know who, when and where you can help out. This list will be filled in as presenters come forward. We would like each award to be presented at a concert or public event where the winner is featured. Presenters should be be prepared for the following:
We know that some of the winners are members of the board. If any winners are reading this; first "congratulations!" Next, please send us an IM with ideas of where and/or how we might arrange the presentation. Cheers!

We will be at the Gosport and Fareham Festival on 10th April when Show of Hands are appearing. Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Rory. on February 20, 2009, 11:33:38 PM If Julie Fowlis rolls past Brighton this year (as she has done for a couple of years now), then I'd be more than happy to do the presentin' [;-)
Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on April 14, 2009, 03:45:43 PM We have a very short window of opportunity to present to Maddy Prior at some time on the current Steeleye Span tour...
We have had an offer from Delfini and we would be happy for her to make this presentation. However, she has already presented a Hancock trophy once before, so we thought that, before confirming her prsentation, we should offer one last, quick chance for someone new to step forward and have a go. So, if you are going to see Steeleye in the next couple of weeks and would like to present the trophy, please say so now! If you're happy for Delfini to present then that's fine too :) Cheers Nick Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on April 20, 2009, 12:37:57 PM Well, the Maddy presentation seems to have gone ok :D
Now we need to arrange the remaining awards. MikeB has offered to present to Jeanna Leslie and Siobhan Miller in Glasgow sometime in May which is great. Rory, I'm keeping an eye on the Julie Fowlis tour dates. And apologies to Poor Will that we couldn't get the Phil Beer presentation sorted out for Easter - we'll look for another avenue... Any more ideas, requests, etc? Cheers Nick Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Shelley on April 20, 2009, 07:35:49 PM Bellowhead, pretty please?
Seeing them twice in May, (Holmfirth and Wychwood) and no doubt on the autumn tour, probably the Welsh tour..... Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on April 20, 2009, 11:22:10 PM Thanks for the offer!
I talked with Bellowhead's Tour Manager Mark recently about their presentation. We reached the conclusion for a fair number of reasons that a tour date would be preferable to them than a festival. The band have a tour lined up this autumn with dates starting to emerge and they were making a decision on whether to go for another Welsh tour next Jan. So there will be quite a few dates to pick from :) Cheers Nick Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: davidmjs on April 21, 2009, 07:18:26 AM and they were making a decision on whether to go for another Welsh tour next Jan. I hope they came to the right one... :) Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Shelley on April 21, 2009, 07:40:52 AM Thanks for the offer!

Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Ancient Muse (Andy) on April 21, 2009, 04:32:55 PM Love your new custom title Shelley!
Trust you to get the Bellowhead one to present! ;) Hope it's when I'm there to heckle you ... ;D Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on April 21, 2009, 04:36:46 PM Love your new custom title Shelley! Trust you to get the Bellowhead one to present! ;) Hope it's when I'm there to heckle you ... ;D Me too. I travel long distances just to heckle at a Bellowhead concert... ::) Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on April 21, 2009, 05:13:46 PM Trust you to get the Bellowhead one to present! It's not in the bag yet... there needs to be a venue, a date and a plan ;) That goes for all presentations. Sometimes they come together really easily, sometimes they're hard and take lots of time and effort to sort out, but they all begin with a plan :) Cheers Nick Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Shelley on April 21, 2009, 05:24:38 PM Love your new custom title Shelley! Trust you to get the Bellowhead one to present! ;) Hope it's when I'm there to heckle you ... ;D When did that happen? I haven't illicitly dongled for at least a week! If I do the presentation it would be an honour to have you there as a heckler! Is suspect there may be a few more too! Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on April 21, 2009, 07:28:53 PM We will all give you a hard time, I promise! ;D
Ooooh! Nice dongle............. Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: EllieW on April 23, 2009, 01:12:18 PM Quote from: Shelley Is suspect there may be a few more too! Absolutely! ;D Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on June 25, 2009, 04:21:31 PM Pam FC is now lined up to present the Horizon Award to Jeanna Leslie and Siobhan Miller in Glasgow on July 2nd. Go for it Pam! {:-)
Plenty of Hancocks still to present this year. Anyone have any ideas/interest? Cheers Nick Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Nick on October 08, 2009, 03:37:33 PM Sorry for the lack of news but at last some activity on the Hancocks!
There are two presentations now in the pipeline: Poor Will will be presenting Phil Beer with his Musician of the Year Hancock at Show of Hands' concert in Chichester on 14th October. MikeB will be presenting Julie Fowlis with her Singer of the Year Hancock at her concert in Edinburgh on 27th October. If you're attending either of these concerts, please give a big cheer for the winners and the presenters! :D Now we're looking for someone to present Chris Wood with his award. If you're planning to see Chris during his November/December tour and would like to present a trophy, please let us know. Cheers Nick Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on October 08, 2009, 03:55:24 PM I am definitely free to present to Bellowhead at Pontardawe on 28 Jan 2010. :D
Pretty please Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: Ancient Muse (Andy) on October 09, 2009, 12:59:48 AM >:( I think what Bridgwit forgot to say there was WE are free to do the deed
;) OK sis? Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 09, 2009, 01:04:26 AM ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: The Presentations Roster Post by: gower flower (Shirl) on October 09, 2009, 07:03:59 PM There will be lots of Spibods to cheer you on, girls. {:-)

Selam, if you pop by this way in the next day or so, give me a bell! Also, while I'm here, Ulla, how is it going at your end?!!
