First, I didn't say blues hasn't got a place in UK folk clubs.
What I did say is that - from Youtube evidence - Sunjay appeared to be specialising in the blues, and that I didn't see why an artist performing almost totally American music should be considered for a British Folk Music award.
A poster pointed out that Martin Simpson plays a lot of American music.
True, but he also plays a lot of British/Celtic music.
If Martin specialised in purely American music, then I wouldn't be happy with him winning British Folk Music awards.
Secondly, I haven't got any connection whatsoever with any of the other artists in that category.
