It'll be onstage. Sir Martin and Delfini will come on at the end of the interval before his set and introduce him with the presentation! Fez  Tiara

Some more roster updates:

Firstly, and a little sadly, for family reasons Delfini has had to pull out of the presentation to Chris Wood this weekend  Sad

We hope to make up for this by offering her the chance to present to St Agnes Fountain in December.

At the moment Sir Martin is set to make Chris' presentation on his own, though David Stevenson may be able to help out.

Secondly, I heard from Simon Emmerson this afternoon that Benjamin Zephaniah will be joining Imagined Village onstage at Cambridge on Saturday. And Simon has offered to let Talkawhile present a Hancock to him during their set!

This is pretty much the only chance we'll get to present to BZ so we're grabbing it and running with it even though there's been little chance to organise. Sir Martin will be on hand again, with Ellie, to present this award.

Thirdly, we're trying to figure out what has been planned for presentation to Tiny Tin Lady. At the moment we've not got the right information to be clear what's going on. I'll update and confirm as soon as we're clear.

Cheers

It's a little late in the day to mention, but we've now had confirmation that EllieW can present the Best Band Hancock to Spiers and Boden in the Paradise Bar in London on September 16th (tomorrow!)

Thanks Ellie and good luck!

Cheers

Hooray! It all went fine - photos to appear shortly when I've got a spare moment to deal with them, and collect the others Grin It was a great night, and many thanks to Jon, John and Mark (and Paradise) for allowing it all to go ahead Smiley

The year is almost wrapped up but we still have two more presentations to go. The Aggies award is sorted out for December. However we still don't have a presentation lined up for Pete Zorn!

So. Any ideas? Anyone know if/when Pete might be playing anywhere? And who would like to make a presentation?

Cheers

I see that Barbara Dickson is touring the country in the new year.  Our Hancockian is said to be a member of the Band

Failing that, if anyone should happen to stumble across Aggies Chris WHILE and Julie MATTHEWS or Bad Shepherds, Troy DONOCKLEY and Maartin ALLCOCK (who played with Zorn is Waz) or Phil BEER - could they ask them PZ's whereabouts, please?  

I'd prefer not to involve my CIA chums at this stage.  It might frighten him.

Didn't Maart say Beth Neilsen Chapman was touring soon, and PZ was in the band last time.

BNC plays Belfast on Sunday, Birmingham Tuesday, Barnsley Wed, Buxton Thues and then a couple of dates in Scotland. See http://bethnielsenchapman.com/touring.php for all the dates.

I know Maart is playing Belfast. Dunno if the Bad Shepherds will take him away from the other gigs.

So, can anyone confirm; Is Pete Zorn playing for BNC? Or is he playing for Barbara Dickson?

And if so, who would like to have a go at arranging a presentation?

Cheers

There's a Pete Zorn Appreciation Society on Facebook - run by his son.

Or so I'm told.  I'm not on Facebook.

Perhaps the brave presenter might make enquiries there.  Young Zorn has posted his email address to the Group.  By all accounts he is his Dad's number one fan.  Grin

It would be nice to get last year's wrapped up... Who wants to present to Pete Zorn?


That's going to have to be at a Barbara Dickson gig then - I think that's all he's got coming up....

If she went back to singing purely trad stuff I'd be fighting my way through the crowds for a ticket, throwing children and small animals out of my path.

Me too, and as her mum and my mum were at school together there's a wee personal link too.  But be warned - if you want to present an award at one of Barbara's gigs, we need to start a fund to buy the presenter a ticket.  She prices HIGH!

I'm sure she would welcome a presentation to Pete - they go back some way....

Barbara's most recent album is quite folky in places - check it out.
