This thread was initiated by someone who hadn't even listened to Low Culture (although it's been out for around 6 months), in yet another attempt to discredit Jim Moray. The OP considered the Best Album Folk Award nominations were "not f*lk CDs". Best Live Act didn't come into it.

Having had it pointed out that Low Culture has either 7 or 8 trad tracks (depending on how you look at them), the OP has skulked off, never to be seen again. As the thread has drifted irrevocably off topic into previously far-too-frequently revisited West Country irrelevancies and other equally inane directions, it would be A Good Thing to close it (there's another kicking about somewhere). It's nowhere near where it started, it had a completely distorted initial point and the awards ceremony isn't for another two weeks anyway.

And yes, Bella Hardy does find it bizarre that there are those who meander mindlessly knee-deep into tripe rather than making / listening to music, though I'm not altogether sure she'd really have wanted them at the gig which was a triumph and Chris Sherburn came along too!
