GUEST,Jiggers BBC Folk Awards 2009 (104* d) BBC Folk Awards 2009- Rename Category 15 Jan 09

Hi,

See nominees for best album :

BEST ALBUM : Dreams of Breathing Underwater – Eliza Carthy ; Low Culture – Jim Moray ; This Earthly Spell – Karine Polwart ; Trespasser – Chris Wood

Although they are great albums, I don't consider either the Karine Polwart or the Eliza Carthy album to be folk CDs, they just happen to be by folk artists. If Eliza Carthy brought out a Techno CD then would it also be eligible for a folk award ?

I've not got the Jim Moray CD but my suspicion is that it is probably a folk hybrid CD.

I think this category should be re-named - best album by UK artist with a folk history.
