Thread Name: Folk Singers Who Are Still Alive
Subject: RE: Folk Singers Who Are Still Alive
Sheffield is an absolutely brilliant place for singers & musicians (trad and otherwise)!
Folks I am lucky enough to hear sing pretty regularly at sessions include (in alphabetical order; links provided if I could find one easily): Jess Arrowsmith (of Crucible) Gav Davenport (also of Crucible) Paul & Liz Davenport Kate Green an absolutely stunning singer (all four tracks there are excellent, but I particularly recommend Lazarus and I am Stretched on Your Grave)
Other great singers I get to hear in local singing sessions (yes, really!) every now & then: Jon Boden James Fagan Fay Hield Nancy Kerr Brian Peters Graham & Eileen Pratt Hugh Waller
BTW, did I mention Sheffield is a brilliant place for trad music?
