I know from past experiences that there's little point in arguing with you, Mr Miles, or expecting you to read what's not in your imagination, but the award citation thing, as quoted by Vic Smith, apparently says Froots "promotes great new artists long before they have been discovered by the mainstream media." Nothing in there about commerciality, high level presences, the top ten, the Irish media, and whatever "tin pan alley" is (you've lost me there, and I'm too lazy to google). Just that Froots has written about many artists first, before others outside the specialist press. Do you really dispute that? Did you bother to look at those indexes I linked earlier?
