I'm surprised to see how many favourites are really old, or even gone! I suppose I must tend to listen to people who are alive and still performing. My present favourites are: Kate Rusby, Mary Black, Dolores Keane, Dave Burland, Nic Jones, Alison Krauss (who is, I suppose, strictly speaking, country rather than folk - I find the lines are very blurred with American artists.)
