Out from the shadows – for what it's worth, ladies and gents, I'm on the folk awards panel. Don't hold it against me: I never asked to be on, and I usually don't vote (often I'm unfamiliar with the nominees, and I'm frankly not a fan of competitions). But I still get the call, year on year. I suspect I'm on because I publish a folk magazine here in Yorkshire, which would suggest that the panel is probably composed of activists and folk professionals – organisers, journalists, and so on.

I did vote for Bellowhead once...
