Jon Loomes (or is he well known by now? He was booked at Broadstairs last year.) Interesting voice, nice "English altered tunings" guitar work, multi-instrumental, gift for spotting interesting and less known traditional songs (or surreptitiously doing a Niles on us, which I wouldn't put past him as he has an evil, evil sense of humour - you should hear the one about tuning the hurdy gurdy: "it's 120 years old and takes 2 hours to tune, two Martin Carthys!" Boom Boom!)

Tori Lang, booked at Miskin last year, so well known to some, about the age of my daughter, unaccompanied singer again of mostly traditional material, very strong conveyor of the sense of a song, made me cry three times in 15 minutes (but I was sloppy drunk by that stage).

Oh, and I nearly forgot, Davy Romsey (or is it Rumsey) used to resident at whatever the Maidstone club was called at the time. Very powerful voice, altered guitar tunings, often played as rhythmic chords, lot of traditional stuff but some contemporary too. Seems to have vanished AFAIK.
