Scrumpy & Western Hall Of Fame

Many years ago, Paul Gunningham started the Scrumpy & Western Hall of Fame, and after finding the webpage lost in the archives, as of 2008 we have decided to continue this tradition as part of the new Scrumpy & Western Music Awards.

The Scrumpy & Western Hall of Fame is dedicated to giving acknowledgement and recognition to the musicians and songwriters who, by the dedication and hard work, have supported and influenced the development of Scrumpy & Western music during their lives. Launched back in 1990 - with a few gaps in the intervening years - the membership of the Hall Of Fame will be added to annually.

The latest inductee is no other than its founder, Paul Gunningham, without whose hard work and diligent research, this website would not exist.
