I'm pretty sure that there would be a vote for Oysterband.  |

I'm pretty sure that there would be a vote for Oysterband. Undoubtedly! But I wonder what he would have made of current circuit favourites Bellowhead? |

He was a big fan of Spiers and Boden. I remember him pushing Colin to open up a Talkawhile section for them, before they had their own forum.

Perhaps an award for the "best" shirt worn on stage any any of the other award nominees would have tickled his fancy  |

Quite simply no one else like him on this planet in terms of musicianship.
I like Phil Beer's work very much, but the above statement is rather far fetched and indicative of many nominations here. If your arguments are to be taken seriously, then they have to be made seriously. edit; this post may read in a harsher tone than was intended. |

You need 10 posts in music topics and you have plenty - and if you can see the polls you can vote!

Rory. I think Geetee knows what he's talking about. Okay Sir Robert, I read into that that you know who Geetee is and that they have kudos, fair enough, I can only reply to the comment, not the person. To be honest strong drink had been taken and I was frustrated at what I perceive to be lack of imagination in the voting, Bellowbleedinghead this MaddybleedingPrior that. Although my aim was very far off, I was merely trying to make the point that saying Phil Beer was beyond compare was stretching it a bit, but in the sober light of day, perhaps he is. I was going to hold up those chappies who performed at the Obama inauguration the other day as possible equals, but it turns out they were miming because they didn't want to break a string in the cold  Word on the street is that Mr Beer is a Top Man in every sense and I wouldn't want anyone to think I was gainsaying that opinion. (BTW I really like Bellowhead, and I hold nothing aginst Ms Prior, so to speak) |

Since he has said he was not trying to keep it secret or be coy, there is no reason not to let you know that geetee is Gareth Turner's nickname in real life. |

 Well actually there's just over a week, but close enough. A lot of the votes are very close this year, so make sure you have voted.These awards are very important to TAW and the artists who receive them. So please vote, even if you need to do a bit of research first. If you want to convince others to vote for your favourite, I suggest posting YouTube links in the topics. Everybody (with more than ten posts in a music topic) gets two votes in each category and you can change them at any time. |
