Dave, people who come here to defend Seth and young folkies have clearly not read the threads. If they did, they would know that Seth has been roundly defended in this whole affair, and that the whole point is to make the folk awards more accessible to a wider range of young traditional performers, and to ensure that those future winners can be proud of their awards.

The Seth anti-defamation brigade are either too lazy or too thick to find out the facts before engaging gob. I know which one my money's on.

Best ignored, mate.
