    Have you heard "Diamond Mine" by Kenny Anderson aka "King Creosote"? There is a wistful beauty about his musical arrangements and presentation that I find very affecting every time I listen.

    Suffolk Tony Aim low, achieve your goals, avoid disappointment.

    My brother introduced me to Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman, a man and wife folky-type group but not of the “Hey nonny” variety, and I'm really taken with them. I can highly recommend their album “Tomorrow Will Follow Today”.

    Pretty much anything by Emily Smith, who has a gorgeous voice. Too Long Away is particularly good.

    Gordon Lightfoot.
    His influence is Folk music.
    I like Kate Rusby and Vashti Bunyan.
    Many will know ‘Another Diamond Day.’

    Nic Jones: Penguin Eggs

    A wonderful singer and guitar player - with a very distinctive guitar style. A career tragically cut short by a serious car accident. One of my favourite albums regardless of genre.

    Chris Wood is worth checking out. Handmade Life is a brilliant album.

    The Unthanks - try Mount The Air or Here’s The Tender Coming to start.

    Seanm’s post has reminded me that June Tabor did a stellar version of the Waterstones’ Scarecrow on her Abyssinians album. She is a great folk singer, and I’m particularly fond of the album she did with Martin Simpson, A Cut Above.

    Topic have a series of “An Introduction To...” albums by people such as Tabor, Martin Carthy, Dick Gaughan, Martin Simpson etc. There are some great tracks on the June Tabor one...

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077F9QQQD/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21

    I don’t think they’ve been mentioned so far, but don’t forget Planxty, a great Irish band.
