The Folk And International Roots album club

Time to put up the balloons, cut the cake and sing Happy Birthday again, because the FAIR club has now been running for two years. Because the club only attracts a few people, there´s space to mention everyone who has contributed an album nomination this year:-

Roll of Honour:-
stephen - without your consistent enthusiasm I probably would´ve closed the club by now, so many thanks for your support and the great music you have introduced us to.
frownland - hoping you haven´t abandoned us. My apologies if some of your nominations have received limited attention in the polls; I still feel that we are special buddies because we listen to exactly the same two-for-one Beefheart cd !
misspoptart - most promising newcomer, deserves credit for not only exploring strange music, but exploring strange countries too. She wins the crown for Miss FAIR Club 2013 - although you haven´t yet submitted a video of yourself belly-dancing to gypsy music, Miss P. What are you waiting for ??
cenotaph, joy circumcision and Sir Cactoos nominated one album each this year.

Facts and Figures:-
We looked at a total of 18 albums, of which the stand-outs were:-
First Place: Tempest scored 18 points.
Second Place: Agadaz, nominated by stephen, scored 8 points.
Equal Third: Red Hash (from Poor Ol´Po), Kef, and Niyaz (from misspoptart) all scored 5 points each.
Bottom of the Barrel: Worst scoring album was Pianoriental, which I have to own up to, and which got a score of minus one.

(Scores go like this: an excellent vote=2 points, good=1, OK=0, disappointing=-1, awful=-2)
