I was wondering when someone would get round to Kathryn Tickell - all the concerts I've seen her performing at have had an awful lot of chaps at the front trying to look up her skirt! However, being of the opposite persuasion, I'll second Dougie MacLean, Rory McLeod and Ralph McTell (walls plastered with posters of him in my teens)...how about Paul James (ex Blowzabella)... and then there's the son of one of the McGarrigles - can't remember his name but would probably be accused of cradle snatching (well you can look, can't you?) (What is his name?!)

Going back to the 70's

Carol Pegg of Mr Fox fame was some lady!

She left the folk scene to study the people and culture of Outer Mongolia.

Surely I didn't make it that obvious with my drooling??

I find this thread sexist, disgusting, and politically incorrect in the extreme.

Have any of you the faintest idea of how unsettling it is to get up on stage and have hordes of people openly lusting after you ?

It has taken me years to get used to it ....

My vote is Chris Angel... a young local dude whom we've dubbed Kid Folk... He's a rock star, a heart-throb, he's a teen-idol... He can still get laid at high-school parties...

I'm SOOOO glad he's leaving town after summer, and we can get back to having UGLY folk musicians around here...

The way it's SUPPOSED to be!!

James Taylor looked pretty cool in his younger days. Check him out in "Two Lane Blacktop" my favorite bad movie of all time.

Nowadays of course, he is as follically challenged as everybody else of a similar age, and doesn't carry quite the same aura of brooding intensity which made him sexy, I assume.

If this question had been asked 20 years ago, there would have been lots of UK women voting for Charley Yarwood. Still as I'm male and hetero, I'd vote for a young Shirley Collins. If you preferred dark-haired ladies to blondes, there was always her sister Dolly.

I used to think Eliza Carthy was sexy. Then she started singing about giving blowjobs to men that she didn't even like.

Now I assume that she must have had one fucked up childhood.

I'm surprised that no-one spotted a mistake in the name of my sexiest folk singer. It should have read: Carolanne Pegg.

Judging by the masses of messages that weren't posted I daresay nobody's ever heard of her?

Not strictly folk I suppose but I fell in love with Martyn Joseph last Saturday night and he was on stage with Steve Knightley (so 2 for the price of one) :) www.faithfolkanarchy.com But, then again I fell i love with Chris Smither at Sidmouth last year - Yippee he's coming to town in March (UK)! Although - long term infatuation would have to be Richard Thompson: the Sean Connery of Folk as far as I'm concerned!
