I still love:
Bert Jansch
Leonard Cohen
Joan Baez - (I saw her ‘live’ on the BBC Radio2 Folk Awards on Friday night along with June Tabor, Steve Earle and The Waifs. Check out the video clips at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/...04/video.shtml )
Cat Stevens
Donovan
Joni Mitchell
Joan Armatrading
Dory Previn - (Saw her in a tiny, 500 seat hall 28 years ago. Just ‘woman and guitar’ – 2 hours of pure bliss.)
Edith Piaf
Alan Stivell - (A singer from Brittany I’ve loved since I was 16 – those of you here into the Cape Breton scene should check him out. I stayed in the same hotel as him last year. Missed him by 1 day! I was spitting!)
Aengus Finnan – (I’ve just got into him and I’m playing him as much as GL at the moment. You can download some mp3s at
http://www.aengusfinnan.com/homepage.html . If you love GL, you’ll love Aengus. Give him a try!)
This has made me feel soooo old, so I’ll add – Muse, Evanescence and The White Stripes – just for the hell of it, but mainly because my daughter has taken over the sitting room and I can’t avoid them!
