Sunday's show focused on the results from the recent BBC Folk Awards held at the Brewery in London, playing music from five of the category award winners plus Nanci Griffith, who picked up one of two Lifetime Achievement awards (the other going to Dick Gaughan, a track from whom I'll be playing on next week's show). In addition the Legend of Stuff served up star-cross'd lovers for February 14th, courtesy of a splendid recording by The Unthanks of Child ballad 'Annachie Gordon' .
Video highlights from the Folk Awards are available for a limited time on the BBC website.
