Subject: RE: Singers and songs which stunned me .
Seeing Paul Brady in a small folk club in Nottingham playing solo, before his career exploded and he played superb mandolin and guitar. All his songs were brilliant

Seeing Nic Jones at the Bamalouka Folk Club in Ockbrook, Derby when he was singing his songs off Penguin Eggs crockery Chair etc - priceless. He was(still is) one of my best ever singers.

Seeing Waterson Carthy at derby Folk festival two years ago and hearing Norma singing Black Muddy River(Grateful Dead song) that had me in bits it was so great.

Hearing Martin Carthy's version of Heatbreak Hotel
