It's that time of year again! Who are we all voting for (if you're inclined to tell others that kind of thing?) I think there are some really tough ones this year...

Here is the link!

For me, I'll probably be voting...

Best Album: Laura Marling (can never decide which song is my favourite because they're all so amazing. If I was a songwriter, I'd want them to sound like this! Not overly folky though...)
Instrumental Album: White Nights by Catriona McKay (just such a brilliant harpist. Enough said.)
Best Debut: Haven't heard any of them...
Male singer: Chris Wood (I just love his voice and the way he interprets songs)
Female singer: Norma Waterson (same as above really! I lover her strength, her gusto...her voice is so rich and warm and...homely!)
Duo: Jonny Kearny and Lucy Farrell (I've seen them a couple of times now, and they are just completely charming and captivating. They deserve all of this success they're getting, imo...)
Group: Fisherman's Friends (for their first albums only!)
Trad song: Haven't heard any of those nominations...
Original song: Fleetwood Fair by Katriona Gilmore (Just a lovely, haunting song! And really rooted in the tradition, I think, which is good to see.)
Musician: Sam Sweeney (he just plays everything with so much life and vibrancy- completely refreshing and engaging to watch/hear. Not to mention the fact he learnt bagpipes in 6 weeks- how?!)
Live Act: Haven't seen any of them live!
