Sorry to come in late to this one since I have a passionate interest.

Once again - how many have written to the Beeb with your opinions? It is absolutely no good bleating on here. They do take notice if you go about it in the correct way. I have proved it. Yes they also block and frustrate you. They must have an archive a yard high with my letters. If there was a thousand archives like that it might have helped.

Here is an alternative.....

Find your local community radio station and get them to have a folk music programme. No community station? Go and start one. It is easier to talk about doing it on here than actually going out and doing it. That's how Sheffield Live! started, a bunch of people passionate about radio set it up.

The recipients this year were not the "usual suspects" as people have come to call them - some of whom make great music. I have still never worked out why Eliza's version of her Uncle's song "Jack Frost" didn't win a few years ago.

I happen to think this second record of Jim Moray is superb and I'd like to have been on the chorus of Pretty Girls too.
