EFDSS are free to nominate anyone they feel is deserving of the Gold Badge (not gold medal). Why not join and nominate them, Dick.
as I have pointed out numeroustimesIlive inIRELAND I am a member of Comhaltas,and cannot afford two subscriptions,
I recently denoted some money to searchlight to help fight racism,I think that is amore urgent priority.
However as Folkie Dave says any member can nominate them,so why doesnt somebody who is a member,please do so.
that is why I put this thread up to get the ball rolling,ok.
another person who could be considered is Ron Angel,ex Teeside Fettler,songwriter, musican,organiser for many many years[until fairly recently] of Stockton Folk club.
