As Sussex is my old stamping ground I followed up Stuart Reed's link to the Brighton Acoustic Session and was knocked out by the quality of some of the music he's putting on.

I reckon The Longhill Ramblers would give many American bands a run for their money - high quality musicians with a really authentic sound.

Likewise, Hatful of Rain have some excellent songs, easily on a par with the likes of Gillian Welch etc. Pity I can't make their gig but if they ever venture north I would definitely make the effort to see them

Keep up the good work Stuart!
