NAAFC AWARDS
NAAFC Honours Award
For many years now the NAAFC has honoured most of the great and good of our music scene. The NAAFC’s intention was to honour only living recipients, hence, with a few exceptions, they have not attempted to retrospectively honour the multitude of great names who were gone before the Association’s Honours Awards were established. Photographs and short biographies of all of our former Honours Recipients can be found by clicking here and reads like a “Who’s Who” of Scottish musicians.
BAFFI Awards
The Box and Fiddle Fellowship Input Awards are presented in June each year. Listeners are invited to vote from March 1 - April 30 for their favourite Guest Artiste, CD and Club Supporter. Guest Artistes are invited to vote for their favourite "Club of the Year". The winners are announced at the NAAFC's AGM and Celebrity Luncheon.
