Devon Folk AGM 2013 The President of Devon Folk Terry Underhill presented Colin Andrews with a specially commissioned tankard made by Harry Juniper to mark the "100th" publication of the Devon Folk magazine What's Afoot. Colin was thanked for all his dedication and hard work as Editor. A Ceildh planned to mark this milestone in October last year had to be cancelled because of bad weather so the presentation was made at the Devon Folk A.G.M. on the 13th April 2013.

Devon Folk Award 2012
In 1983 Paul Wilson and Marilyn Tucker created the organisation now known as Wren Music, with the vision of taking the people’s music to the people of Devon. Since then every year has seen major new projects, which have brought communities, large and small, together and they have touched the lives of tens of thousands of people. There are a few strands that have run though their work during those years. Their links with Newfoundland go back to the earliest days of the organisation, but they have now taken their music to many other countries. Also they have made the collection of Devonshire song collector, Sabine Baring-Gould, a basis for many projects over the years. Wren has grown and its achievements are a team effort drawing on the expertise of several musicians and other staff. However, it is the combination of Paul’s musical talent and creativity combined with Marilyn’s practical business skills and resilience that have directed and ensured the success of the organisation, even when the going got tough. |
