An excellent way to hear the best in British folk music and at a such a fantastic price. Ideal as a sampler for those artistes you don't know too well. There isn't one weak track on any of the three albums and it is a real bonus to have the sets from our up and coming young folk performers. It's good to know there is so much talent about.

Once more the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards arrive on our radios and to celebrate and augment the revival of the most exciting genre of music in the world, once again they issue a BBC Folk Awards 2012 (3CD)three CD box set of the finest harvest of the folk and acoustic year. From June Tabor & Oysterband - together again after all those years - we also have Scots triumphs the Peatbog Faeries, a new generation of Watersons, Christy Moore and Bella Harding just to name a very small part of a fantastic lineup.
Not only are there the old, tried and famed recordings here such as the Oggie Man and Brigg Fair but also a third CD again containing the very best of the young folk musicians, those who will keep the tradition rolling along into a new generation when today's stars have passed into the firmament.
For all true folkies this is a 'must have' record, for everyone else, dip a toe into the water and see what you are missing. Then get yourself down to your local festival (there will be one within 20 miles for sure) and start to bop again like we did last summer !!

As one might expect from the title of the album this is selection of all the nominees for the 2012 BBC Folk awards and unsurprisingly features the very best folk music produced in the last year and it certainly contains some crackers. I was particularly impressed with the offerings from the artists nominated for the young folk awards. This album will appeal to seasoned folk veterans and is the perfect introduction for anyone who is curious about folk music. With 3 CD's of music, it is also great value for money.
