Last night heralded the announcement of nominations for the tenth annual BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Around 170 industry insiders had a say in selecting the nominees and will vote again to decide the winners ahead of the awards ceremony on February 2nd 2009.
RaW Folk favourites Bellowhead, Jim Moray and Eliza Carthy each picked up three nominations, whilst Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis, Seth Lakeman, John McCusker, Martin Simpson, Lau, Spiers & Boden and Show of Hands' multi-instrumentalist Phil Beer also made the shortlist having graced RaW's airwaves. Chris Wood swept up with five nominations and there'll be a track from him on this week's show.

Hmm, good selection - lots of familiar names from Saturday/Sunday nights! Any chance of playing more past winners from the last 10 years (Best Original Songs)?
