Yes I saw all of the listed artist in the folk club environment at some stage in contrast the folk revivalist were also there (at different times), Nick Jones, Tony Rose, Peter Bellamy, Dave Burland, Pat Ryan, Marie Little, Rosie Hardman, Julie Matthews ~ these by and large have been followed by a new crop of singers ~ shanty singers such a Jim Mageean, Graeme Knight, Tom Lewis, She Shanties etc and Nancy and James Fagan, Jon Boden and Fay Heild, Bryony Griffith and Damian Barber ~ the incredible musicians of the new order and of course the Scottish musicians ~ Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain and the new crop of top line musicians, both established acts like Keith Kendrick and Sylvia Needham, Mary and Anahata, all vying for club and festival bookings The scene is pretty full ~ what is needed is the audience!!
