These lists are all very well, Ray, but to get to the original point - who is the *best*?!?!?

Tough I know, so I propose a Top Trumps style play off - each folkie being awarded points for a series of desirable traits in a folk singer from barnsley the one with highest overall score is the winner -

I need everyones inputs on this - but for starters suggest

'Number of songs in Repetoire'
and
'Number of Verses in Longest Song'
