Unfortunately, in more recent years they seem to have really scraped the dregs of the barrel when deciding on who to give the award to, and several names to be inducted leave a bad taste in my mouth especially those who have done little or nothing at all for British country music. If they carry on like this, every Tom, Dick and Harry will end up in the Hall of Fame at this rate!
