Subject: RE: Who has the best voice in folk?
Some fantastic choices! I'll bet Bernard Wrigley was surprised to get a mention.

Lorna Campbell had a voice that still comes back to me.

One of the best relatively unknown names would be Mal Waite- fantastic.

I have a CD by Heather Heywood that always amazes me when I play it.

Big Pete Rogers from the Taverners was most likely the finest male trad singer I've ever heard.

Big Lad from the Houghton Weaver - Tony is also extremely good.

I love Iris Dement, Joan Baez.

When Hallelujah was all the rage after the X factor I heard Julie Felix sing it - wonderful
