The Fluffy Jackets award winners (L-R): Emil Gammeltoft, Nick Rhodes, Helge Rognstad, Jerry Bessent and West Weston.

It is worth mentioning that former Dr Feelgood guitarist Wilko Johnson won the Blues Sensation award for his incredible comeback album featuring Roger Daltrey of The Who. The guitarist said he has been "cured" of the terminal pancreatic cancer with which he was diagnosed in 2012, after having had radical surgery to remove the tumour earlier this year.

Trivia Question: Apart from being award-winners, can you guess what the connection is between the Fluffy Jackets debut album & the Wilko / Daltrey comeback album?

Answer: Some eagle-eyed music aficionados may have noticed that both the Wilko/Daltrey album and the Fluffy Jackets albums employ the musical talents of one certain Steve “West” Weston, who is a harmonica player extraordinaire. West Weston features on The Fluffy Jackets album playing harp on the songs “Fighting Demons”, “Little Brother” and “Mean ol Frisco”.
