Guest JM (wonder who that is?) says there are 8 trad songs on Low Culture. So if you take out All You Pretty Girls (Andy Partridge) which is up for Best Original Song, and Valentine (Adrian Shaw but with a trad tune), that leaves 8. Including, presumably Three Black Feathers which, although rewritten by Bella Hardy, bears considerably more resemblance to trad than the Lakeperson's Albino Hopping Creature which gave rise to Bunnygate a couple of years ago when the Smoothies managed to let through its nomination as Best Trad Track.
