Caught Sam Lee by accident on Front Row on Radio 4 last night by accident. Great stuff! Listen again:

Who's Sam Lee? Well, he did a cracking Puck's Song on the OAK ASH THORN Folk Police album, and he's doing Great Works in the name o' Folk, offering new perspectives well deserving of our close attention.

Singer Sam Lee gave up being a visual artist, a teacher of wilderness survival skills and a burlesque dancer, to learn folk songs. He talks about collecting material from gypsy and traveller communities for his CD, Ground of its Own, and the sounds - including birdsong and drones - that he has added to his interpretations.
