Subject: RE: BBC Radio 2 Folk Nominations - 2012
Well I have looked at the list and fail to understand some of the choices.

Some suggestions.

Harvey Andrews who has given so much to the folk world and will be retiring next year.

Real Time - One of the best bands I have come across. Wonderful singing from Judy Dinning who is having to go through cancer treatment again.

John Conolly - Yes Mr Fiddlers Green. Such a great entertainer.

Bill Whaley & Dave Fletcher - Great duo and funny.

Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman. One of my favourite duo's. Always go home gobsmacked with their performance.

Martyn Wyndham-Read & Iris Bishop - so magic to watch them.

Blimey I could go on for ages, so sorry if I haven't mentioned somebody. The point I was trying to make is they are all excellent entertainers and please the audience for at least 90 minutes. Why are they not included?

I am sure that a lot of Uk mudcatters who can think of other very suitable performers, who don't get a mention.
