GUEST,admcinally@yahoo.co.uk Help: Good modern folkies (78* d) RE: Help: Good modern folkies 03 Feb 00


Good modern folkies? How about early Dougie McLean, Craigie Dhu for example. Much better than his recent pastel tinted nonsense. Also, brand new is Malinky from Edinburgh. Saw them at Celtic Connections this year, new CD (Last Leaves, I think)is just out. Karine the lead singer has a great traditional voice. Others from the 80s/90s: Ian Walker, flying high is a wonderful political album. Jez Lowe, also subtly political and overtly so on occasion. Ian Bruce, great voice now re-visiting traditional songs. Hope this helps a little with the Scottish Scene.
