Hmmm … a number of my faves have already been mentioned (e.g. KKallick / LNull / VAspey / AStuart / FArmstrong / JRedpath / KWolf / CSchmidt / BDickson / the Fisher gals / ECarthy / NWaterson / JMurphy (the Welsh one : try her "Black Mountain Revisited" CD!) ….. and I second Guest's comments on DEANTA's lead singer!

But I'd like to put in a plug for these delights too :

Maggie Holland (UK) - try CD "Bones"
Polly Bolton (UK)
Rory Block (brilliant U.S. Blues woman – try any CD
Angela Fox (a Scot in NZ) – try "Arrow" CD
Margaret Morgan (West Aussie) – try "Storm on the Horizon" CD
Jenny Fitzgibbon (an Irish Aussie) - try CDs with Tulca Mor
and the late Helen Schneyer (US) – needs no more from me …

and I'm sure there's more!

Cheers! R-J
