By Parliamentary Approval
Ralph was recently honoured by the All Party Folk Music Group of the House of Commons with a special award ceremony. In addition to a bottle of whiskey he received a plaque with the commons seal and the inscription “Awarded to Ralph McTell by Parliament to celebrate his lifetime's contribution to folk music.” This is only the second time this award has been made. The previous recipient was Tom Paxton.
In between debates and division bells, Ralph performed a number of songs during the short ceremony for the benefit of a select audience of MP's, parliamentary workers, invited guests, Lords and Ladies.
