Hosted by Mark Radcliffe and Julie Fowlis, this year's event will feature 8 live performances from a number of both new and established folk artists, including special collaborations, as well as the presentation of 13 awards. The 2014 awards are the event's 15th anniversary.
The event was broadcast live on BBC Radio 2.
