Some fantastic choices! I'll bet Bernard Wrigley was surprised to get a mention. Lorna Campbell had a voice that still comes back to me. One of the best relatively unknown names would be Mal Waite- fantastic. I have a CD by Heather Heywood that always amazes me when I play it. Big Pete Rogers from the Taverners was most likely the finest male trad singer I've ever heard. Big Lad from the Houghton Weaver - Tony is also extremely good. I love Iris Dement, Joan Baez. When Hallelujah was all the rage after the X factor I heard Julie Felix sing it - wonderful
