At this festival John was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of a lifetimes contribution to the world of guitar. Previous recipients include John Renbourn, Davey Graham, Henry McCullough and Louis Stewart. Presenter Stuart Bailie remembers: "His band was pre-warned so we interrupted his gig at a strategic time to make our homage. John didn't know what was going on and he gave me a look of pure malice. It was terrifying. But when he realised what we were trying to do, his demeanour changed abruptly and he started to weep."
