I should also mention that a couple of people who saw Julie at Gainsborough this year have mentioned that they are voting for Julie in the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. The only catagory you can vote in is the "Best Live Act" catagory and, to quote the BBC website, it is for:

the "artist, duo or group (which) has made the biggest impression on you at a live performance over the last year?"

If anyone has seen Julie this year - at Gainsborough or elsewhere - and feels that this applies to her, we would be very grateful if you could visit:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/folk/folkawards/vote.shtml

and cast your vote for Julie Ellison.

Putting her name in front of the Radio 2 programme producers in advance of the album launch would be useful to say the least, and I know there are many out there who would like to see Julie begin to get the recognition she deserves.

If you do vote, please only vote once since they are checking for "block" votes and in any case we do want to get there (wherever "there" is) on merit.

All the best
