Title: Ashley Hutchings MBE Post by: RobertD on June 12, 2015, 10:45:42 PM Well the news about Bruce Rowland posted earlier is sad, but on the other side of it, via Fairport's website comes news that Ashley will be receiving an MBE for services to folk music. Congratulations to him.

Title: Re: Ashley Hutchings MBE Post by: Jules Gray on June 12, 2015, 11:57:27 PM Eh, it's just an establishment pat on the back really, isn't it? I'm sure he'll be chuffed, but ultimately it's more important that his peers and other folk music people appreciate what he's done, I think.

Interviewing Ashley about his gong, they talked about most aspects of his career, FC, SS, Albions and Morris. How English trad music is different from Irish and it was all going very well until the interview finished and Dotun played "All around my hat".
