News broke today of a draft proposal to dismantle the BBC and set up individual production companies for the nations of Britain.
Could this lead to an adequate representation of England's traditional music inheritance which is so lacking in BBC output?
Wasn't it rather sad to have this year's jamboree dominated by visiting Americans and an Australian pop band?

btw Lady P, Best Band (DanĂº) was *not* a category voted for by the public. Only Best Live Act (Show of Hands) was open to public online voting.
