Greetings, i am new to all this and have recently got into the music through a group local to me..

I would appreciate it if you could listen to this sample and recommend some similar artists to me.

Cheers, Steve

Dunno what you like specifically about that recording but you might like Archie Fisher. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leomhFmH62o

I'd say that you should frequent as many folk clubs as you can find.

I first heard that song from Sean Cannon about 40 years ago.

Catters, the sample is of a lone man, probably 'of a certain age' singing 'The Galway Shawl' while accompanied by guitar and mandolin. He is not a trained singer, but his voice is pleasant to listen to, and he sings in tune.

Surely British Isles catters can supply the names of men currently doing that sort of music....

I was wondering at the conspicuous silence too, Leeneia.
I used to know of dozens of singers in that vein when I lived there. I found them by going to clubs, and so I suggested that Guest does the same. 'Irish' pubs too.
