OK, my head's getting too hot and is in danger of exploding, so I'll take my thinking cap off!! Here are my nominations for the following Classic Awards:

PUB/CLUB FOLK SINGER OF THE YEAR: George Papavgeris
PUB/CLUB MUSICIAN OF THE YEAR: Breezy
BEST "NON COMMERCIAL" GROUP / DUO: Capella / Lynne Heraud & Pat Turner / Splott Man and Dame Patti can't decide between them, they're all Fab!
BEST "NON COMMERCIAL" CD: Hissyfit, Sweet Minerva
HORIZONTAL AWARD (Best drinker): Bill McKinnon as nominated by bubblyrat, perfect choice!
BEST FOLK CLUB: AnchorFolk, Byfleet
BEST PUB SESSION (Regular): Good Intent, Rochester as nominated by Girl Friday
BEST PUB SESSION (Festival): Radway, Sidmouth
BEST FOLK FESTIVAL: Miskin as already nominated by just about everyone, of course!
BEST FOLK DRAMA (the "We do it in the road award"): Unsung Heroes as already nominated by Cats (who just has to be biased, but not surprisingly so) and MiskinMan
BEST REGULAR DANCE EVENT: Herbaceous Border as nominated by Splott man
BEST LOCAL FOLK MAGAZINE: Unicorn

and now for the Newer Awards:

BEST SONG & ALE: Travelling Folk
BEST CROSS-DRESSER: Skipy hands down, sorry Andy!
BEST ECCENTRIC PERFORMANCE: Bonzo & Doris

I have to suggest that the SPECIAL AWARD as proposed by Cats should be appropriately re-named as: BEST AND MOST DETERMINED AGAINST ALL THE ODDS SESSION

And where, oh where are the Nominations for:
BEST FESTIVAL SINGAROUND - mine would be for Nelly Dean's at Miskin!

Keep up the Nominations Folks - we've a feww weeks before IanC has the chore of compiling them so we can do our voting for these Pretigious Awards!!
