Best Musical Moment of the Year
Darlingside's deserved ascendancy from unknowns at the bottom of the bill in the tent to packing out the main stage in the space of a weekend at Cambridge Folk Festival.
Most Disappointing Musical Moment of the Year
The shocking discovery that what I was playing was not a rubbish freebie remix CD packaged with the new Bon Iver album, but was in fact the actual album.
