GUEST Dan: you claim to know a bit of what's going on. A couple of questions. Firstly, do you believe that the White Hare got in the top four of actual votes casts for the best individual traditional track? Secondly, do you believe that the White Hare actually got any votes at all in that category. And if so, would you care to tell/guess how many?
    But what we really need are official answers to these questions, and of course similar questions about other nominees: this is of course not about Seth Lakeman, he is merely an example.
   Personally I'm all for folk awards. But my belief is that if people are given votes, the votes should be counted and used to decide the winners. The allegation going around is that they weren't. And these are publicised as the BBC Folk Awards, by the way. Not Smooth Ops, nor Mike Harding, not Radio 2.
