JB - thanks for the advice and compliment! (think it was a compliment?!) :)

I like singing unaccompanied, particularly the trad stuff. But most of the songs that I've written I think work better with accompaniment, and I also love the buzz and challenge (not always easy!) of working with musicians.

I sang with a fiddler for a while last year, and yes, it worked really well - but it seems most folk fiddlers want to play the diddly fast reels and jigs, not the slow melancholic songs that I love. So I'm staying openminded, and hoping it could also work well with the right guitarist, pianist or other instrumentalist. Guess they'd also need to love it too!

So I keep on hoping and searching!
