Julie Fowlis scoops 'Folk Singer Of The Year' at Radio 2 Folk Awards Print E-mail

Julie Fowlis beat off sterling competition from the likes of Jez Lowe, Kate Rusby and Martin Simpson, to scoop the prestigious 'Folk Singer Of The Year Award'

John Tams & Barry Coope took 'Best Duo', singer and musician John Tams has been a guiding light of the British folk community for over thirty years. Barry Coope is one-third of ace acapella trio Coope Boyes and Simpson, his engaging vocal and keyboard skills making him the perfect duo partner for Tams.Local folk heroes LAU walked off with 'Best Band'. The teaming of Kris Drever (guitar and vocal), Martin Green (piano accordion) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle) has fused three of the most innovative exponents of modern traditional music on today’s scene.

Seeing off competition from 'Rachel Unthank & The Winterset' - Martin Simpson's 'Prodigal Son' took 'Album Of The Year', so confident with the blues that some assume he’s American, yet an equally superb interpreter of English traditional music, Martin Simpson is no stranger to award nominations and successes. Simpson also picked up the award for 'Best Original Song' for 'Never Any Good.

'Best Traditional Track' was Cold Haily windy Night by 'The Imagined Village', a former Dave's Angle (and indeed angle of the year). With its top-rank line-up (including Billy Bragg, Martin and Eliza Carthy, Paul Weller, Benjamin Zephaniah et al) and brave arrangements, Simon Emmerson’s project to reinvent the traditional British music for a multi-cultural 21st century received much critical acclaim.

The prestigious 'Horizon Award' went to 'Rachel Unthank & The Winterset. With their debut scooping Mojo magazine’s Folk Album of 2005 and their 2007 follow-up causing a sensation with its original and empathic arrangements, the Northumbrian quartet have already established themselves in the folk hierarchy.

'Musician Of The Year' was Andy Cutting's, Bellowhead took 'Best Live Act', and the Lifetime Achievement Award went to another local artist, John Martyn - a unique character on the British music scene for more than forty years. From his straightforward folk work as the first white artist signed to Island records, through his recordings with then wife Beverley, to his more muscular jazz experiments and beyond, his heartfelt performances have either suggested or fully demonstrated an idiosyncratic genius. In a special message, Eric Clapton described Martyn as, "so far ahead of everything, it's almost inconceivable."
