I was recently given an award at an event organised by the Americana Music Association UK, so that I could immediately turn and hand it to the person who won it. Of course, presenting an award is also an honour, and a pretty easy gig – you’re on stage for maybe three minutes in total.
I don’t get asked to do it very often. The last time was about eight years ago, and while I waited my turn in the audience a woman sitting behind me tapped me on the shoulder.
