Knutsford Town Council > News > 2022 > December
Knutsford Together among this year's recipients of Community Grant Scheme
Our community grant scheme was introduced with the intention of supporting local organisations, charities, and CICs that are actively supporting Knutsford and providing community services. The grants come in either the form of donations of up to £200, small grants of up to £1,500, or large grants over the value of £1,500.
This year, one of our beneficiaries is Knutsford Together, a new charity that understands that it isn't always easy accessing the help you need or knowing where to look. Knutsford Together are committed to ensuring that people in Knutsford are directed to the right services relevant to their situation and are encouraging people to sign up and become Local Connectors to help make this happen. Becoming a Local Connector only takes one hour of training!
Knutsford Together received a grant in kind of two laptops, which have already helped the day-to-day running of the organisation. Nicola Marshall, chief officer at Knutsford Together said: ''We are so grateful for the laptops that we kindly received from Knutsford Town Council. They've already proven invaluable since I joined Knutsford Together in July. It has enabled me to put together a directory of services that will be listed on our website as well as carry out day-to-day admin tasks. Going forward, they are going to prove even more vital in being used to signpost and connect members of the community to local groups and services as well as securely enabling us to case manage clients when we work with them on a one-to-one basis.''
The Town Council aims to fund organisations and projects that provide improved services or opportunities for those aged under 18 or over 65; create or improve services and facilities benefiting a significant percentage of residents or which enhance the profile or reputation of the town.

Christmas Window Competition Winners 2022
The Mayoress Kate Houghton and Managing Director of Knutsford based Forum of Private Business, Ian Cass, toured the town centre to judge the efforts of local businesses in the annual Knutsford Christmas Window Competition.
Each year the standard of the Christmas Window displays continues to get higher and higher. All the town centre window displays were viewed as part of the competition and we had formal entries from a large range of retailers and businesses including: Detaljer, Diamond Nails, Canine Cutting Club, B&V Trading, Arthur Lee, The White Orchid, and Clare and Illingworth.
The overall winner was presented with a trophy and certificate with highly commended certificates going to the runners up.
This year the winner was Wine and Wallop with The Tea Room and Ürban Sanctuary being highly commended. There was also a prize for the best dressed Charity Shop window, and this was won by The Children's Adventure Farm Trust on Canute Place. The best small window competition was won by Innovations Hairdressing.
Mayoress Kate Houghton said, "I was impressed at both the innovation and sense of style even more this year. Everybody should be extremely proud of the displays they created in making the town look so festive. Picking the winner was difficult and there were several shop fronts being in running for the top slot. Unfortunately, there could be only one winner – Wine and Wallop – their display was festive, eye-catching and innovative!"
Knutsford Christmas Market 2022 A Huge Success
Knutsford's favourite Christmas Market kicked off the festive season last weekend, with a packed two-day celebration on 3rd and 4th December.
Over 130 stalls filled Princess Street and Silk Mill Street both days, selling a variety of artisan products ranging from homemade art and crafts, locally brewed beers and alcohol, festive bakes and lots of exciting gift ideas.
Thousands attended the event which also featured the Santa Parade on Saturday, supported by Knutsford Hosts and We Are Knutsford. Santa paraded up King Street and Minshull Street alongside City of Chester Brass Band and Travelling Light Circus performers before arriving in Canute Place ready for the big Switch On.
The Mayor of Knutsford was joined by his cadet, Jamie, and Santa Claus to light up Knutsford for the festive season at 6pm, followed by a headline performance from Small Horse & The Plan.
Santa also visited lots of children during the weekend at his Grotto, which was kindly supported by and in aid of CAFT. Children also enjoyed rides from John Collins Funfair, who were open all weekend on Princess Street car park.
Sunday saw live entertainment from Get Back Band and Knutsford Beats, both of whom were busking to raise money for various charities.
Alex Brown, Events Officer at Knutsford Town Council, said: "This was our busiest Christmas Market yet – we were thrilled to see thousands enjoying the market and entertainment throughout the weekend. It was our first full Christmas Weekend since 2019 following the pandemic and poor weather conditions last year, so it was fantastic to finally bring back the event in full this year. We hope everyone had a great time welcoming in the festive season in Knutsford!"
The festivities continue this weekend with the Mayor's Christmas Crib Service on Saturday 10th December at 4pm outside the Lost and Found, where the Mayor and local churches will bless the town crib, followed by brass music, Christmas carols and mulled wine and mince pies courtesy of Knutsford Catenians! A Christmas Remembrance Service follows at Knutsford Cemetery Chapel on Sunday 11th December at 4pm, where residents can remember those who have passed this year.
If anyone would like to provide feedback on this year's event, you can contact enquiries@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk or call 01565 653 929.
From the archives: A Coronation Bonfire
The Town Council holds an archive of documents containing a wealth of local history and, thanks to the work of two dedicated volunteers, the archives are being sorted and catalogued for the first time.
Jenny and Mary attend the council offices each week to sift and sort the various files and we are keen to share the information they unearth. This article was prepared by them for the Friends of Knutsford Heritage Centre newsletter when they found an old photo showing men on a stack of hay?
When King Edward VII ascended to the throne after the death of Queen Victoria in 1901 towns and villages began planning extravagant celebrations for his coronation, which was planned for June 1902.
Many towns, including Knutsford, built large bonfires. This photo (which has been skilfully enhanced by Peter Spooner) shows the bonfire on the heath. The men standing on each tier are allegedly the town councillors of the time. You can clearly see a small silver crown near the top and the initials ER.
Knutsford's bonfire and celebrations are mentioned in George Payne's 'A History of Knutsford', published in 1904:
"On June 26, 1902, the loyal people of Knutsford, besides having a bonfire which measured 52 yards in circumference and was 44 feet high to the floor of the cabin placed on the top, which was itself 10 feet high, had what was quite appropriate, a sanding competition, in which twenty three cottages and tradespeople entered. Most beautiful and artistic designs adorned the street and pavements in front if the houses, and a number of prizes were awarded, the judges touring the ancient streets in a motor car."
It was also mentioned in other publications, including the Dundee Evening Post, July 1902, which described different bonfires around the realm, accompanied by this illustration and description: "Of quite a different shape was the bonfire at Knutsford, containing 100 loads of stuff. At the base it was 16 yards in diameter, and the blazing properties were heightened by the addition of many barrels of tar."
The coronation day was set for 26th June 1902 and guests were invited from all over the world. However, the King suffered appendicitis a few days beforehand and developed peritonitis: unless he postponed the
coronation and had an operation immediately he would die. The King, though hugely reluctant, finally relented, and 9th August was chosen as the new date. By then he was much recovered and the service proceeded as planned.
The society magazine "The Queen' reported at length on regional coronation festivities and in the issue
published a week before the delayed coronation in August, Knutsford gets a special mention:
"There will, no doubt, be many places which will repeat the note of joyousness sounded for June 26 last, when Aug. 9 brings, as we all devoutly hope it may bring, the ceremony that was then postponed. Flags are a possession that can be hung at any moment, and bonfires can be reconstructed, but they will not be either the flags or the bonfires that were prepared when the nation was at the height of loyal expectation.
The little Cheshire town of Knutsford was no whit behind others in its demonstrations of joy; all the customary preparations had been made to honour the King, and another form of decoration, which unfortunately does not show in the photographs, was employed to adorn the pavements of the street. This is the old custom of "sanding"; all the shopkeepers ornament the stone pavement in front of their shops with arabesques, crowns, mottoes, etc. in sand. It is done by putting the sand into a funnel and letting it out in a fine stream, rather in the manner in which a cook ices a cake. The skill that some of them attain is wonderful.
I do not know if the gentle ladies [of Cranford] ever went to any such exciting thing as a bonfire; I imagine they would have thought it slightly improper, but if ever there had been a festivity of that description in their days, certainly Peter, the wicked Peter, who owned to having shot a Cherubim, would have assisted at its making. The photograph somewhat spoilt by the iron railings shows how the bonfire looked the day before the expected Coronation; afterwards, when we lit our bonfires in gratitude that the King was out of danger, this one burnt beautifully, though it canted over in a wonderful way before it was finished, immaculate as it looks here in its resemblance to a gigantic cake."
Christmas Remembrance Service
Knutsford Town Council and the Town Mayor Cllr Mike Houghton would like to invite members of the community to join a Christmas Remembrance Service. The service aims to provide an occasion for families and friends to remember those who have been interred at Knutsford Cemetery in the past year.
We hope this service will have a relaxed and special atmosphere. Christmas songs will be performed by Knutsford Beats. Readings and poems will be shared with our guests and delivered by Reverend Nigel Atkinson alongside Nicola Marshall and David Briggs from Knutsford Together. Tea and biscuits will be served afterwards.
The service will be held at 4.00pm until approximately 5.00pm on Sunday 11th December 2022 at Tabley Hill Cemetery Chapel.
If you would like to come along then please respond to Amy Leech by 9th December, by email amy.leech@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk or by phone on 01565 653929.

Do all Windows phones have poor Bluetooth in call volume?
When I use a Bluetooth headset to make and receive calls. The volume is terrible. It's always low even at max volume. I have tried it on 8 and 8.1 and its the same. Any ideas?
My call volume is fine. Running 8.1 DP on Lumia 920 with Motorola HX550 BT. Have you used that BT headset with other phones with good results?
You might get more feedback from other users if you post in the forum section that corresponds to your phone model... It may be peculiar to that particular phone.


Johnson Outdoors employees mark company's 40th anniversary milestone by giving back to local communities with food drives.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS INC. (Nasdaq: JOUT), is celebrating its 40th anniversary as a global leader in outdoor recreational products. The Company's 1,300 employees worldwide are marking the milestone occasion with food drives to help those in need in their local communities. All non-perishable items collected by employees in each location will be donated to free food banks in the respective local community.
Johnson Outdoors' Employees Eager to End Hunger is a global effort to combat an escalating problem in countries all over the world. The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third underfed and one-third is starving. The problem has neither geographic nor demographic boundaries. Nearly 800 million people across the globe suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Every year 15 million children die of hunger, and the Urban Institute in Washington, D.C. estimates that one out of every 6 elderly people in the U.S. suffers from malnutrition.
Struggling economies have worsened an already serious global situation, highlighting the inextricable link between poverty and hunger, as local food banks everywhere are having difficulty keeping up with increasing demand. Recently a food bank in Binghamton, New York, the home of Eureka!® tents, reported nearly 12,000 pounds of food were distributed in just one day.
"For five generations, my family's businesses have been guided by strong people-focused values which recognize the goodwill of the people is the only enduring thing in any business: the rest is shadow. We believe you cannot have a healthy environment inside the company without a healthy environment in the communities where our people live and raise their families. Employees Eager to End Hunger is one of the many ways our family of employees is working hard to make a positive difference for people everywhere we do business," said Helen Johnson-Leipold, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company today also announced that John Sibley, Sr. and Theda Honnell of Old Town Maine were this year's recipients of the annual Samuel C. and Imogene P. Johnson Sustainable Community Award. The award was inspired by Sam and Gene Johnson's legacy of service in areas that strengthen communities and improve the quality of life for generations to come. Honnell was recognized for her volunteer work with the River Coalition, Old Town Library children's programs and Milford Teen Center and Recreation Departments. Sibley was recognized for his numerous fundraising efforts on behalf of Cancer Care of Maine and Toys for Tots.
"My father used to say that money didn't make things better, people did. That's why giving back to our communities is not just be measured in dollars, but more importantly in service – giving one's time and talents to help make every place a better place because we are there. Theda and John are great examples of how individuals can make a big difference to make the lives of many others better," said Ms. Johnson-Leipold.
JOHNSON OUTDOORS is a leading global outdoor recreation company that turns ideas into adventure with innovative, top-quality products. The company designs, manufactures and markets a portfolio of winning, consumer-preferred brands across four categories: Watercraft, Marine Electronics, Diving and Outdoor Equipment. Johnson Outdoors' familiar brands include, among others: Old Town® canoes and kayaks; Ocean Kayak™ and Necky® kayaks; Carlisle paddles; Extrasport® personal flotation devices; Minn Kota® motors; Cannon® downriggers; Humminbird® fishfinders; Geonav®marine electronics; SCUBAPRO® and SUBGEAR® dive equipment; Silva® compasses; Tech4O® digital instruments; and Eureka!® tents.

Baroque beginnings and Renaissance ideals
The Carracci—Annibale, his brother Agostino, and their cousin Ludovico—are often credited with initiating the first phase of Baroque art. In reaction to the artificiality of Mannerism, the style that dominated central Italian art during the mid-sixteenth century, the Carracci advocated a return to greater naturalism. They founded a painting academy (Accademia degli Incamminati) in Bologna, Italy around 1580 that focused both on the study of the best artistic models of the Renaissance and on the direct study of nature.
The Carracci developed a new style that blended the rich color, soft chiaroscuro, and warm lighting seen in the art of Northern Italian artists, like Titian and Correggio with the balanced compositions, firm drawing, and idealized forms that characterize the art of central Italian artists like Raphael and Michelangelo. Annibale further developed this style in Rome, where, with Christ Appearing to Saint Peter on the Appian Way, he created a work whose emotional immediacy signals the emergence of Baroque art.
Domine, Quo Vadis? (Lord, where are you going?)
According to Catholic tradition, St. Peter and St. Paul were both executed in Rome around the year 67 C.E. during the reign of the infamous emperor Nero. The story (found in early Christian writings but not in the New Testament), states that Peter was freed from prison in Rome after he and Paul converted their jailers. Peter was then persuaded by fellow Christians who were concerned for his safety, to flee Rome. As he left, Peter encountered the resurrected Jesus. Astonished, Peter asked "Domine quo vadis?" (Lord, where are you going?). Jesus replied "I go to Rome to be crucified anew." When he heard these words, Peter understood that his actions were cowardly and that he must return to Rome. There, he was arrested and crucified upside down at his request because he did not feel worthy of dying as Jesus had.
Drama and gesture
In Christ Appearing to Saint Peter on the Appian Way, the two principle figures are set against the muted earth tones of the landscape, dotted with delicate trees and Roman architecture. Initially Peter stood more erect and closer to Jesus, but Annibale modified his pose in order to more dramatically express his emotional reaction. Jesus appears in his resurrected body; it is muscular but bears the wounds of the crucifixion. He wears a white loin cloth and a red mantle over his shoulder (red symbolizes his humanity and the blood shed at his Passion). Other references to the passion are the crown of thorns on his head and the cross that he carries over his left shoulder. Peter is identified by his traditional blue and yellow robes, gray hair and beard, and the keys that hang at his waist (see below on why keys are Peter's attribute). He is taken aback by the muscular figure of Jesus. Peter's hands are up in a protective mode as he recoils in astonishment.
Detail, Annibale Carracci, Christ Appearing to Saint Peter on the Appian Way (also known as Domine quo vadis), 1601-02, oil on wood, 77.4 x 56.3 cm (The National Gallery)
While the Carracci advocated a return to Renaissance ideals of clarity and the direct study of nature (which they felt the Mannerist artists had rejected), this work is distinguished from the Renaissance in its psychological involvement of the viewer. Although Jesus turns his head to address Peter, he steps boldly forward toward the viewer as he points to his destination, which lies implicitly in front of the picture. Even the placement of the cross is expressive; one arm of the cross pierces the clear blue sky while the lower part projects out to the viewer. In these ways Annibale places the viewer directly in Jesus's path and breaks the boundary between the painting and viewer's space—engaging the viewer with an immediacy typical of Baroque art.
Christ Appearing to Saint Peter on the Appian Way also depicts the most dramatic and expressive moment of the encounter. Peter is shocked and ashamed and Jesus' physical strength reflects his moral strength as he strides forward confidently. The gestures and body language of the figures are posed at their most expressive—also anticipating the drama of Baroque art. The artistic renewal begun by the Carracci coincided with the spiritual renewal of the Catholic Church, known as the Counter-Reformation.
Peter and the papacy
Perugino, Christ Giving the Keys of the Kingdom to St. Peter, 1481-83, fresco, 10 feet 10 inches x 18 feet (Vatican, Rome)
This depiction of Jesus and St. Peter would call to mind for contemporary viewers Jesus's earlier conversations with Peter, in particular, the Gospel of John, 13:36-37, where Peter asks Jesus, "Lord, where art thou going?" and Jesus replies, "I am going where thou canst not follow me now, but shalt follow me afterwards." Then Peter said to him, "Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I am ready to lay down my life for thy sake."
And in the Gospel of Matthew 16: 18-19, Jesus says to Peter,
thou art Peter, and it is upon this rock that I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it; and I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
With the metaphor of the keys, Jesus was understood to have bestowed upon Peter the office of the Papacy and the authority to lead the Church. The Catholic Church considers St. Peter to be first bishop of Rome and, as such, the first pope.
Annibale's painting can be interpreted as a commentary on the authority of the papacy and the centrality of Rome as the headquarters of the Catholic Church. Many early Christians were martyred in Rome and St. Peter's basilica was itself built over a crypt believed to contain the tomb of St. Peter.
The painting was commissioned by Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini (whose name saint was Saint Peter) when the Church was still heavily invested in affirming doctrines contested by the Protestants. With its emphasis on Jesus, Peter, and Rome, the painting reinforced the idea that Jesus himself had instituted the office of the Papacy (an idea refuted by Protestants) and that Peter was willing to die for the faith.

APSMembershipAwards & GivingGive to the APS FoundationGiving OptionsFunds
Raymond G. Grogan Student Travel Award
Colleagues and friends established this award in honor of Dr. Raymond G. Grogan for the contributions he made to the science of plant pathology through his research, teaching, and service.
Raymond G. Grogan
Raymond G. Grogan (1920-2016), professor of plant pathology at the University of California, Davis, was born in Emma, GA, and educated at the North Georgia College of Dahlonega and the University of Georgia at Athens, where he earned B.S. and M.Sc. degrees. After a three-year stint in the Navy, he went to the University of Wisconsin to obtain a Ph.D. degree under J. C. Walker in 1948.
He began his career at the University of California, Davis, in 1948, was promoted to professor by 1960, and served as department chair from 1969 to 1974. Professor Grogan taught courses on advanced plant pathology and diseases of vegetable and field crops and guided 23 Ph.D. degree and several M.S. students.
In 1987, Dr. Grogan was awarded the Award of Distinction by The American Phytopathological Society. The Award of Distinction formally recognizes exceptional productivity in research, inspiring leadership, and effective application of plant pathology for the benefit of humanity. This rarely-bestowed honor has been presented only 10 times in the history of the society; Dr. Grogan was the seventh recipient.
Dr. Grogan served the profession as president of the APS Pacific Division, chaired the Committee on Editorial Policy for Phytopathology, and served as APS representative to AAAS and other committees. He served on editorial boards of Phytopathology, Plant Disease, Virology, and the Annual Review of Phytopathology. Dr. Grogan was awarded a National Science Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellowship in 1958 and the Campbell Award for Vegetable Research in 1962, was named fellow of APS in 1969, and was included in Who's Who in America in 1974.
His innovative, diverse, and creative research included foliar and soilborne diseases of vegetable crops caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and abiotic factors. Under J. C. Walker's tutelage, Grogan demonstrated that a necrotic disease of bean was caused by a hypersensitivity in resistant cultivars to Bean common mosaic virus; later, he showed this seedborne virus to transmitted by bean pollen.
At Davis, Grogan and associates demonstrated that June yellows in lettuce was caused primarily by the seedborne Lettuce mosaic virus and could be controlled by using virus-free seed. He established that the soilborne chytrid, Olpidium brassicae, transmitted the big-vein agent in lettuce, which was the first report of a fungus as a vector of a disease agent. Later, in Australia, he and a colleague described Lettuce necrotic yellows, a virus disease that served as a model for basic research on bullet-shaped viruses. Grogan found that Tomato mosaic virus could be transmitted mechanically from tomato seed to seedling.
Dr. Grogan discovered that Pseudomonas tomato inhabits and is transmitted by tomato seed, and that P. phaseolicola, cause of halo blight of bean, is a seed contaminant in which sanitation is needed to produce bacterium-free seed. Using nucleic acid hybridization he identified four of six homologous groups of pseudomonads with distinct genotypic characterizations. More recently he and co-workers reported that corky root rot of lettuce is caused by a soilborne gram-positive bacterium, and that this disease can be controlled by cultural practices that improve soil water drainage and aeration.
Grogan's research led to detection of a new mutant strain of lettuce powdery mildew that is endemic on wild lettuce in California and that caused the mildew epidemics during the 1950s. He incorporated resistance to lettuce downy mildew in Lactuca serriola from Russia into L. sativa and this resistance in the lettuce 'Calmar' has been effective for nearly 30 years. In other work, Grogan established: 1) the importance of seed transmission in celery by Septoria apii and that crop rotation and use of disease-free seed are effective controls, 2) that stem canker of tomato is caused by Alternaria alternata, leading to the identifiable stable resistance probably from a single dominant gene, and the identification (with coworkers) of a host-specific toxin useful in screening tomato cultivars for resistance, and 3) that lettuce drop is caused by Sclerotinia minor and S. sclerotiorum with extensive research into the biology, epidemiology, and control of these two species.
Difficult problems in research challenged Dr. Grogan: he determined in the 1950s that the cause of root rot, rapid collapse, and death of lettuce plants in the field was caused by damage from ammoniated nitrate fertilizer. He concluded that high temperatures and calcium deficiency at or near crop maturity contributed to tip burn of lettuce and symptom development.
Few have contributed as much to science and plant pathology as Ray Grogan has. After years of experience, he developed a philosophy that inspired two articles, "The Science and Art of Plant-Disease Diagnosis" and "The role of Genetics in Etiological Pathology and Maintenance of Plant Health." Throughout his career, Dr. Grogan strove for excellence in himself while instilling it in his students. To him, research should be challenging and fun, and he often compared research to solving a crossword puzzle in which the problem is not solved until all of the squares are filled. His devotion to that philosophy accounted for the many contributions to plant pathology in particular and to agriculture, science, and education in general.
Dr. Grogan died July 30, 2016, at his home in Santa Cruz, CA.

Pedro and Evandro put lessons into practice to progress
Rio de Janeiro, August 11, 2016 – Brazil's Pedro Salgado and Evandro Goncalves won their final pool match at the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games 2-1 (21-16, 20-22, 15-7) against Latvia's Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins at Copacabana Beach Arena on Thursday. It sends the Brazilians through to the elimination rounds and means the Latvians exit the competition.
Here's what they said after the match…
Pedro Salgado, Brazil
"We had a bad start (at the Games) and now we are playing well and we are just trying to maintain our rhythm and focus. Our defense was better today and now we got the victory. We are qualified."
Evandro Goncalves, Brazil
"We knew from what other people were saying that it was going to be difficult and maybe we weren't supposed to win.
"We have learned from defeats and as much as we have the chance we are going to give our best in every game.
"The serves went on our side, while in the other matches they went to the other side. Everything was working today.
"It is great because we are qualified. It was a lot of pressure, but we were working through it and pushed through it. It was really good, and now we have to get our focus on and think about our next game since we are qualified."
Aleksandrs Samoilovs, Latvia
"We were expecting this, we were playing against Brazil and this was their last chance to get out of the pool.
"We were expecting that Evandro was going to serve very good serves, so we did quite well on reception against him. Sure he got aces, but he always does. He's the best server on tour.
"The biggest problem was that I had a lot of reception mistakes against Pedro. He has a quite easy serve so usually we should be making 100% precise reception when he serves."

Billie Eilish creates history with 5 Grammys
By Younus| Published: 27th January 2020 2:14 pm IST
Washington D.C: The Grammys bought much glory to music sensation Billie Eilish, who bagged the best pop vocal album and also swept four big titles – Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year at the awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (local time).
The 18-year-old became the youngest solo performer to ever win album of the year. In total she bagged five Grammys this year.
In her acceptance speech Eilish said "Mainly the fans deserve everything…they have not been talked about much tonight…they are the reason why we all are here at all."
While 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' won the awards for the Album of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, her single 'Bad Guy' brought her the glory with two big awards – Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
Eilish paid respect to the other artists including Lil Nas X and Lizzo who were nominated in the Best Album category.

"I love you all. You deserve this just as much as I do," she said.
The teenaged singer defeated big musicians like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Lizzo, Lana Del Rey and others to take home the award.
Eilish co-writes a majority of her songs with musician-actor brother Finneas O'Connell, who won the Grammy for non-classical producer of the year.
During a talk with the host from the inside videos of Grammys, Billie and her brother revealed that a majority of the song, including 'Bad Guy', 'I love you' was written in the spring-summer of 2018.
"We made an album that we wanted to make and we made it," Billie continued as she said there was no intention behind while making these songs.
"The goal was just to enjoy making the album and enjoying performing it," she stated.
The young talent is one among the most streamed artists, best known for her hits singles 'bury a friend', 'lovely' and 'when the party's over.'
The duo also talked of their wonderful childhood and how supportive and attentive they were towards their needs.
