Hamish Currie's Personal Pages

Winner of the 'The Rob Bader Memorial Trophy' at Bude & Stratton Folk festival 2011 for 'The Moment' – a moment at the festival judged by the committee members as being one that truly epitomises what folk music and the festival are all about.

When presenting the award, Lucy Burrow talked about Hamish contributing many such "moments" over the weekend. "Not only does he sing beautifully, but he gets involved in everything that’s going on. He runs and attends workshops, plays concerts, participates in singarounds and the shanty session and he supports the ceilidhs, too.

"Nothing is too much trouble for this man. His good humoured and endearing manner make his appearances engaging and memorable experiences. Hamish is a real asset to any folk festival and we are delighted that he has been a regular at Bude & Stratton: long may we welcome him back!"

"He has a superb style of presentation and a wonderful way with words that makes you hang upon every line he sings."

"Accomplished showman Hamish Currie gave a lively and highly entertaining performance. He developed terrific rapport with his audience through wit, charm and cleverly chosen and superbly delivered material."
