Lots of good ones around today, of course.

Bella Hardy from England. In Scotland, Fiona Hunter and Robyn Stapleton are two of my favourites. There are many more though.

I've also been to see Iona Fyfe too and I agree with Bob that she's very promising.

Was Sandy Denny..... and when I listen to her again, she probably still is.

Siobhan Miller, Fiona Hunter (Malinky) Kathleen MacInnes, Karine Polwart, Iona Fyfe (a teenager with a sublime voice for Trad music) Check her out, she'll be a big star in Scots trad music, and is already well on her way. Shona Donaldson - First Female winner of the supreme bothy ballad champion of champions, and well deserved too. We have so many great female singers here in Scotland, it's difficult to narrow them down. No doubt in an hour, I can come up with half a dozen more to add to that wonderful selection.

Ms. CAPSLOCK was a major talent whose career was stifled by her given name, as I recall.
I like Connie Dover, Karine Polwart, Joni Mitchell among many others.

I'm not familiar with Ms. CAPSLOCK, but Herdsman is certainly in the top tier, along with Joan Baez, Karan Casey, and Debbie Smith.

Hmmm. I'd say the trio of Herdman, Anne Hills, and Cindy Mangsen.
Emily Smith of Scotland is a close second, along with Janet Russell and also Niamh Parsons of Ireland.
