I am with Diane on this one. They all seem to be gigging musicians wqho work hard across a variety of venues large and small.

The ones I would have added are mainly Scottish and they have their own awards - why not go and vote for any you might have heard of... A bit like the licensing act really - why we need one system in Scotland (where people can have music in pubs with no concept of "regulated entertainment" and vote for their own folk awards) and one in England where you need a license to sing and can't vote for your own folk awards) I will never know.

Not bad that - two hits in one sentence......fortunately I am 50% English/Scottish.
