Subject: RE: Alternative British Folk Awards 2007
Hi

Just to remind you that these are ALTERNATIVE awards so that it would be best to avoid nominating any of "the usual suspects".

There are actually THOUSANDS of Folk Singers out there (still) ... they're just not getting paid for it and they mostly sing in sessions, singarounds, their local pub.

I think the cross-dressing etc. is mainly covered under Folk Drama.

PS The Horizontal Award's getting quite a few nominations but it's worth remembering that we do let these people know they've won. For the sake of my embarrassment, perhaps you could check with them that they'd be happy to receive the award???
