Seems fair enough to me Dave.

I have just posted this on the BBC Radio 2 Noticeboard.


"We are in great danger of losing our way here.

The central issues are two:

1. The White Hare, by any current deffinition, is not a traditional song.

2. The method of deciding who gets awards is unclear, unavailable and not trusted by lots of people who are the natural and continuing supporters of folk music.

If these points do not matter then neither do the Awards. Since the Awards are the BBC Awards, the BBC should:

1. Remove the song from the traditional catergory

2. Tell Snooth Opps to reveal the details of exactly how Awards are given

3. Organise a system that is open, transparent and trusted"

I cann't see why, well maybe I can, we cannot have "a system that is open, transparent and trusted".

If the BBC Noticeboard is the genuine route to something or other then maybe if we keep asking this simple question we may get a BBC answer?
