You forgot a nomination for the worst presenter of folk music on the radio EVER. Obviously only one nomination, Mike Hardly, oops Harding.

dear eric - i cant support these remarks about mike - in fact i think you are must be having a fool's interlude to say that. Dont you think Mike knows the ropes and the score. He knows and loves what happens at grass roots level. He mans the widest media opportunity to entice people into the genre with laudible discernment given commercial criteria that allow it to be there at all. People move from his programme to exploring folk clubs and their own desire to hear and contribute to live self-entertainment. Get real dude!
