Seth Lakeman I'm sure is eminently hard-working, professional etc etc. The question which is raised, which I think is valid is: "What is a newly-written original song by Seth Lakeman doing in the "traditional" category?" The trouble is, if the traditional section becomes taken over by new songs, then we will have a re-run of the old "what does folk mean?" question, but this time we will need a new word to mean what the old "traditional " meant. Surely it would be much easier to confine the traditional category to traditional material.
   (I must declare a vested interest in this, I recorded a lot of traditional material this year. And it was traditional, really!)
