Subject: RE: BBC Folk Awards 2004 Winners
Lets promote British culture

Its just that we dont have icons like like Baez

Time for a Male singer and a female singer categories??

There are concert clubs and folk clubs again 2 categories

New songwriters category

Voting should be democratic and universal through the folk clubs

Nominations should come that way too.

Its an inside job at the moment with little appreciation for what is happening at root level.

But then ,this is England!! sorry the U K.

So lets have it.

Isnt Vin Garbutt the biggest male draw on the scene anyway?
there fore should he get an award every year?

Poor old Harvey still pulls em in and never a whisper, and who remembers Jeremy Taylor?

I do , Ive booked em and they are still at the top, they are pros, andthe audience proves it.

Bob Fox works and drinks his socks off, what a toubadour

Even Julie Felix sold out in St Albans last week.

Get real BBC an start giving the music some decent coverage not lip service.
