I see the incomparable June Tabor already has a following on this thread.

I'm surprised to see no mention of Ian Bruce. I do think of him as "the voice" of the UK circuit. Mike Nicholson has a superbly resonant baritone with lovely colours in.

Harmony - Capella (Lesley and Tony Petty). Tony's unmannered and happily non-operatic tenor soars over Lesley's female almost baritone in a very striking combination.


At a local level John Barden's voice would surely stand out in Kent. I wish he sang more folk songs though.
