FATEA/Cambridge And Beyond
BEST OF 2006 AWARDS
The Fatea/Cambridge & Beyond Awards, recognise achievement in 2006 as voted upon by the crew in the FATEA office. Everyone heard
all of the winning recordings and artists
No one artist is allowed to win more than one award, though many were considered in a number of catagories
The awards come with plenty of kudos and merit, but sadly no big tv show, speeches and trophies. In each catagory we
announce the winner and the two artists that came close to beating them to the winning post.
