"I wonder also if a song has been nominated in both categories and been hushed up?"

Apparently The White Hare did appear on both the contemporary and tradditional lists. Leonard let that out in his Feedback interview, which is another fact conveniently omitted from the Irwin PR job. Just like Leonard & Seth always conveniently forget to mention in any interviews that The White Hare single was issued with a written by Seth Lakeman credit for both words and music.

It will be interesting to know if The White Hare actually got more votes as "Best Contemporary Song" but lost out being on the 4 nominees there because the spread of votes was different.
