Thanks for the detailed update GUEST.

As for the comments earlier, I agree it's a matter of principle that Seth Lakeman's song should not be considered for the Best traditional track award. It's nothing to do with the merits of the artist or the song, it's just that there's no way a non-traditional song should be nominated for the award.

Withdrawing the nomination is the only correct resolution to this issue. If the BBC/Smooth Ops don't do this, it destroys any credibility the whole of the awards have, so it's in their interests to resolve it properly, i.e. withdraw the nomination for White Hare from this award.
