The BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards will celebrate their 15th anniversary at the Royal Albert Hall, with some of the biggest names in folk music coming together under one roof to celebrate the UK's thriving folk music scene.

This year's awards will see the addition of the Radio 2 Folk Awards Hall of Fame, recognising the special contribution of an individual to the world of folk music; someone whose impact and influence has had a lasting impression. The first entrant to be inducted into the Hall of Fame will be Victorian song and dance collector Cecil Sharp - widely regarded as a key figure who helped lay the foundations for the first folk revival in the early 20th century.
