VETERAN OF THE YEAR 2014!

"Morten Alfred is passionate about folk music and the musicians who perform it. And he works tirelessly to get the message about what folk music in Denmark is capable of - widespread throughout the world. That is why he should have this award.”

This is how the words sounded, among other things when I recently received the Danish Musician Association's Copenhagen branch award as Fire Spirit of the Year 2014. The prize was accompanied by a check for DKK 15,000.

It's always nice when someone notices what you're running around doing, but getting an award from your colleagues is just fantastic, and it makes me feel completely humble. Thank you for the award, I will do my best to continue to live up to it.

Right now, I am mostly occupied with my work as an editor for Radio Folk, the new internet radio station that ROSA (Danish Rock Council) has started at www.radiofolk.dk. Here you can listen to Danish roots and folk music around the clock. You can also find us www.facebook.com/radiofolk.dk
