This year, the ceremony will be broadcast live from the Lowry Theatre in Salford and hosted by Radio 2's Mike Harding and folk singer Julie Fowlis. There will be performances by folk favourites old and new including The Dubliners, Christy Moore, Don McLean and Seth Lakeman. The awards celebrate the folk highlights of the last year and include presentations for best album, group and musician.

Dickens in London
Dickens in London presents five short plays based on Charles Dickens' journalism about walking in London to tell the story of the writer's life.
Adapted by Michael Eaton, the cast stars Samuel Barnett, Alex Jennings and Antony Sher each taking their turn to play Dickens. Following Dickens' changing relationship with the city that fired his imagination, each stand-alone play takes its title from one of Dickens' own appellations: A Not Over-Particularly-Taken-Care-Of-Boy; Boz; the Sparkler of Albion; the Uncommercial Traveller; and The Inimitable.

Thursday on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Sport Schedule... 1900-2100 Live coverage of the RaboDirect PRO12 match between Glasgow Warriors and Scarlets. (not available on Freeview)
On Thursday though on Freeview, it's Dickens London, which I add is already on several times during the week! How about screening the live rugby, and then straight into the Radio 2 Folk Awards? Surely this makes much more sense, to have something live over something that's repeated quite frequently this week already on Freeview? The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Freeview Red Button scheduling has been much better lately - how about a schedule change for the rugby!!!
