There are always anomalies and as for "turn-taking" - well there aren't a huge number of people to enter anyway.

A couple of years ago the complaints were "It's always Waterson Carthy or Eliza Carthy or it's Spiers and Boden or Kate Rusby".

Well this year it isn't. Tom McConville is a great perfomer and thoroughly deserves his award. I can't think of anyone who would disagree with his award and likewise the one to the Barbers.

Greg is right about the Andy Partridge song - but at least it didn't win the "Best Traditional Track" so we are moving forward!!
