Regarded by many as the most important artist of all time, Elvis Presley first hit the UK music charts in 1956 with "Heartbreak Hotel". In June 1957 he scored his first #1 with "All Shook Up". With re-issues and re-mixes of old songs still being made today, the hits are likely to continue.

Yes, of course it was The Beatles. Possibly the most influential and successful group ever, with numerous hit singles and albums to their name, their place in any Hall of Fame is secure. Oddly enough though, a recent poll put the band's "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" top of a list of worst singles of all time. I could think of a lot worse, but that's another story...

Answer: Whapweasel

Whapweasel describe their music as 'electric celidih' and despite various changes in line up, at the time of winning the award included Rick Kemp, formerly base player with King Crimson, and a long time member of Steeleye Span in their line up (who also doubled as their producer). The other bands listed are all real bands from the UK folk scene. The Oyster Ceilidih Band was an early version of the folk rock band which came to be known as the Oysterband (all one word). Edward II and the Red Hot Polkas took their name from the alleged unpleasant end of a British monarch. Describing themselves as combining English dance music, reggae and 'love rock' the bands name evolved several times (e.g. EII, Edward II and E2K) and finally closed for business in 2009, probably.
