The final results aren't in yet, but at present it's looking as if Ken Livingston will get the job; quite right, too.  If I still lived there, I'd certainly have voted for him.  Frank Dobson was forced onto the electorate as a "New Labour" puppet, and couldn't have been taken seriously by anybody who took the trouble to think about it.  The Tory candidate(s) were irrelevant jokes in poor taste.  And, yes, I believe that he does like folk music, though I suspect that his taste runs more to the contemporary than the traditional!
