Thanks to public support, she has been voted through to the final 10 shortlist in the Grass Roots Festival award. PLEASE VOTE FOR HER AGAIN IN THIS, THE FINAL ROUND OF THE AWARDS. By voting you have the chance of winning a pair of tickets to any of the festivals which win awards. If you have voted in the previous round, you ARE allowed to vote again in this one.

Deadline for voting to end is 20th October. The Grass Roots Award is described as follows: ‘Often the best small festivals spring from an organic labour of love and a long-time dream which has been shared by thousands more. These festivals should be celebrated, not just for the courage and vision shown by their organisers, but also because they never forget where they've come from, supporting their local communities and new music along the way whilst retaining an independent spirit and resisting the allure of commercial sponsorship.’ The results of the awards will be announced 30th October.
