Tim Buckley might have died in 1975, but he’s lived on through re-evaluations, reissues and, by default, through the music of his also-dead son Jeff. This new Rhino Handmade version of Buckley senior’s debut Elektra album is significant as the second disc collects never-before-heard recordings by his first band, The Bohemians, and a set of pre-Elektra demos.

Some of London's most public, but probably least noticed, art is under threat: part of Eduardo Paolozzi's technicolour mosaics throughout Tottenham Court Road Tube station may have to be removed because of the station's massive Crossrail-led expansion.

Last night’s BBC Folk Awards are as showbiz as the folk world gets – presenters Barbara Dickson and Mike Harding might not exactly be Hello! grade glamourpusses but they had a glittery backdrop anyway and there were a few star presenters of awards, including Roger Daltrey, Frank Skinner and Joanna Trollope who was suitably jolly hockey sticks about the whole endeavour. The big winners of the night were Chris Wood, Bellowhead and, for a lifetime achievement award, Donovan, which was presented by Mark Radcliffe.

But not for long. The first ever National Theatre Live worldwide screening of a Donmar production came to a halt between great Jacobi's mad musings on archery and toasted cheese; later, pedalling back from Notting Hill against a furious wind, I guessed the reason for the blip. The weather had scuppered Lear's fate, off stage as well as on.

Intriguing news from Yorkshire. Woody Allen’s new film has been booked to open the Bradford International Film Festival. When Allen’s love affair with Manhattan came to an end, he sought creative reinvention by defecting to Europe. Match Point was no one’s idea of an Allen classic and even Vicky Cristina Barcelona, widely hailed as a return to form, was (for this viewer) far too heavily reliant on voiceover, even if it did earn an Academy Award for Penelope Cruz as a sultry Hispanic hysteric.

It's here! HBO's Boardwalk Empire finally arrived last night, the big news on the opening day of the new Sky Atlantic channel. Already staggering under a burden of Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild awards, Boardwalk looks likely to enjoy a long and glittering career, with a second series already in production.

“When you write for film, the dialogue is like the voice, if you like, and I always consider that as part of the music,” said John Barry, who died on 30 January. “Certain orchestral textures have to match the texture of the scene. You deal with the lightness and darkness of the scene when you write music for cinema. The film is a part of the score, and you can't get away from that.”

The beautiful voice is no more. I know the tag has been applied recently to Renée Fleming, but for liquid-gold soprano sound, there has never been anyone to surpass Dame Margaret Price, who died yesterday in her native Wales three months short of her 70th birthday. Few singers have covered a wider range with such poise and style; in the April 2007 edition of the BBC Music Magazine we placed her Number Eight among the Top 20 Greatest Sopranos of All Time (I now recall she was Number Three on my own list, after Callas and Sutherland, of course).

We were saddened by the absence of such artsdesk favourites as Spooks and Sherlock from the list of winners of last night's National Television Awards at the O2 Arena, who were all chosen by the public's votes. Of course, we share the national euphoria at the news of Bruce Forsyth's Special Recognition Award for his... er... interminable career. "This would be a good night to announce my retirement but I'm not bloody going to," the Strictly Come Dancing host told disappointed reporters. We would also send our congratulations to Top Entertainment Presenters Ant and Dec if we knew which one was which. Perhaps one of them could dress up as Jedward or something.

Indestructible veteran Sir David Jason was gonged-up for Outstanding Drama Performance for his work in A Touch of Frost. That was bad news for current Doctor Who Matt Smith, since the incumbent Doctor can usually rely on winning this one. Doctor Who (the show) also lost out for the Popular Drama prize, which went to school drama Waterloo Road (which starts a new series on Wednesday, 2 February on BBC One).

Other big surprises (not) included The X Factor being named the Most Popular Talent Show, EastEnders being crowned top soap, and Top Gear Most Popular Factual Programme. ITV1's Benidorm collected Most Popular Comedy Programme and E4's The Inbetweeners bagged the Digital Choice accolade.

And while we're on the subject of awards - which are like wasps round a jam jar at this time of year - we should give a tip of theartsdesk hat to Channel 4's This is England '86 and BBC Two's Rev, which won in the TV Drama and Comedy categories respectively at Tuesday's South Bank Sky Arts Awards.
