Awards hatched from Penguin Eggs


Congratulations are in order for the Edmonton-based folk music magazine Penguin Eggs and its editor Roddy Campbell who, with Arthur McGregor from the Ottawa Folklore Centre, launched the Canadian Folk Music Awards. The inaugural awards were made in Ottawa on Saturday (the Winnipeg group Nathan won for best contemporary folk offering and best vocal group for its album Jimson Weed. For other winners go here.)

The eccentrically named Penguin Eggs (you never forget the name, do you, once you've heard it?) is a quarterly that specializes in coverage of folk, roots and world music. It can be found on newsstands, by subscription and online here.
