| BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2008 John Tams and Barry Coope - DUO OF THE YEAR BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2006 John Tams .. Folk Singer of the Year The Reckoning .. Album of the Year Bitter Withy .. Traditional Track of the Year BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards 2001 Unity - Album of the Year Harry Stone - Original Song of the Year The Radio Ballads 2006 - Song of Steel - SONY RADIO AWARDS GOLD www.johntams.co.uk Just relaunched. Take a look Dear Site seer They said be quirky. Is this quirky enough? I wear red socks everyday .. it saves me making at least one damming decision before I face the world. In warmer weather, I wear no socks at all, so if the decision to paint my feet red in the summer ever crossed my mind would I be elevated beyond quirky? I would never, however consider appearing onstage in unstockinged feet. Sandy Shaw .. pass me the 4-inch brush! ..Quirk.. .. is a word the even the etymologists of Oxford have given up on. They say ..16th century .. origin unknown.. so it..s his nibs again .. making up words .. that William Quirkspere. It..s the B-list below the A-list eccentric and one that any self-respecting B-lister would aspire to. Lazy reviewers might use it to damn your new album. But ..quirky.. .. comes with unusual, weird and strange. It could also be considered as ..new... Could quirky by the new- nu? I..m told there is a burgeoning market for this style. Fortunately, I..ve been described as quirky on many..s the occasion in the past .. so maybe I..m fashionable again? What joy! My rule is simple when making album .. don..t do what you did before .. don..t repeat yourself .. that way you avoid racking up extra points on your ..licence.. and by so doing you might stumble across a form the customers like .. then you can repeat yourself ad-nauseum and make so much money you can buy out the licensing authority. Dream on, red socks! So put me down as quirky .. it..s an affectionate little word and I..m proud to be its bearer. How generously inclined to it, dear friends are you?
