SONG/TUNE OF THE WEEK I will change weekly, imagine that!!! so many great musicians here that even on that basis it would take forever to fit all in.
So! Music, well the list is endless but Joni Mitchell has to be mentioned, Carter Family, Steeleye Span, The Corries, Sandy Denny, Eva Cassidy.... I have never ever heard such a beautiful voice and I don't think I ever will again, an absolute legend although unfortunately not in her lifetime:(
Anyhoo, to move on : The Dixie Chicks... can Martie play that fiddle or what! ( Well! yes she certainly can but I have so many absolutely fantastic fiddle players on here now such as Jenna Reid, Seth Lakeman etc. I need to share this out to them all, they are all totally brilliant!!! ), The Wailin' Jennys... just such beautiful voices/harmonies, The Cherryholmes .... Awesome, Uncle Earl... Awesome... Flat Mountain Girls also, others in some sort of alphabetical order :
