Fiona, I wrote to both Mike Harding and SO.

MH replies if and when he feels like it.

SO responded with two fingers on its web page first of all and an email from John Leonard drawing attention to his reply on the BBC Message Board.

We know JL will not give in - he has decided that the Albino Bunny meets the criteria for a traditional track with reference to the BBC Folk Awards, when it clearly doesn't.

I don't think a letter from me will make his change his mind. Ill maybe catch up with him at a festival or somewhere.

You may have better luck of course.

And I agree, SOH should have its own thread and I am pleased to see it looks as if it now has two!
