Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Gurney Date: 24 Oct 02 - 05:58 AM ALL the female folksingers are sexy, 'cos I'm trying something new. Diplomacy. 30 years ago, all the girls around were mooning over Sean Cannon. (It meant something different then.) |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Dez Yello Date: 23 Oct 02 - 08:13 PM It's got to be Liza Carthy, beautiful eyes, sings good, looks good, moves good, yeah! |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,Fiddlergirl (sadly cookieless) Date: 22 Oct 02 - 02:56 PM Ani Difranco. She's spectacular. Ciarán Ó Gealbháin, of Danú... And anyone at all with a nice think Donegal accent. Makes me melt! |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: sharyn Date: 21 Oct 02 - 03:00 PM I forgot to mention Leonard Cohen (but someone else did). I ushered for one of his concerts once, stood ten feet away from him. The man exudes presence. Otherwise same criteria as for Chris Smither: self-deprecating humor, intelligence. In the same category: Richard Thompson |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Genie Date: 21 Oct 02 - 01:48 PM men: the late John Hartford Leonard Cohen ...and, of course, Murray MacLeod! ¤;-D for women (in addition to Emmylou, Joan, Tish, etc.: And of the Mudcatters I've seen pictured, I'd say Carol C. (now "Carol The Sailor?") would be right up there. Genie PS., Someone mentioned above that the sexiest folks may be someone who's pretty much unknown. My vote would be for a guy named Doug who lives in Seattle, plays 12-string and autoharp (both beautifully), is about 6'2" or so, sounds like Marty Robbins, does a lot of Kate Wolf songs, and is gorgeous. I'd wager you folks probably know a few unknown folksingers in your local communities who'd also get lots of votes if they were more widely known. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: InOBU Date: 21 Oct 02 - 12:23 PM Gee when she gets back from Petersburg, I am going to sit my wife down at the computer and have here answer this quesiton! Dejectedly left out, and singing with a bag over his head from now on... Larry |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,A. Lady Date: 21 Oct 02 - 12:11 PM I think that that Trevor from Rapsquillion is gorgeous...but don't tell him. |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: bflat Date: 21 Oct 02 - 11:05 AM I agree with sharyn. Chris Smither is a hottie--great smile, strong features; smart; very talented and easy on the eyes! A Killin' The Blues kinda guy. Ellen |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Hecate Date: 21 Oct 02 - 09:54 AM that`s `not helped` in the sense of me being reduced to a quivering wreck! I gather that the two lassies in said group - Mary and Sarah, are very popular with the blokes. It must be a bit weird reading this and finding yourself named - certainly possible, all sorts of people read and post on this site. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Hecate Date: 21 Oct 02 - 09:42 AM Paul Hoad from Suntrap. not helped by his habit of introducing one of his songs by saying it was inspired by him cycling through the rain in London, wearing only a pair of cycling shorts! |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: The Pooka Date: 20 Oct 02 - 09:39 PM Hm. Wonder what it Is that causes this thread to be Refreshed from time to time. HAHAHA can't imagine. Wut It is, bro'. Definition of Is, is... OKOK. / *Apart* from any & all sexy Mudcatters, who are of *course* Tops (*and* Bottoms too:), you understand -- Emmylou Harris; agree. Who wouldn't? Holly Near - agree! (Sigh...ah weel...) Bonnie Raitt. (Folk?? Aaah who cares?) It's the material. The delivery. (The hair....) Adrienne Cooper, of the Folkesbiene Yiddish Theatre, Arbeiter Ring, Manhattan, NYC. Oy wotta woman. Belts *me* out, by G*d. >>>And now.

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Cubs Date: 20 Oct 02 - 08:39 PM Emmylou Harris is one of the sexiest people on the planet. As other types of music and other eras have been introduced into the discussion, Amy Grant and Bonnie Raitt. One of the very interesting things about each of those ladies and most singers of folk or country songs who also play guitar is their arms. Waifs cannot cut it. Great legs are nice. Great arms are nicer. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Bearheart Date: 20 Oct 02 - 07:44 PM Rod Patterson looks as good as he sings (or at least he did several years back), and I'm surprised no one mentioned him. But looks aren't everything. Sometimes it's the way their hands move when they play that harp (or whatever)like they're making love to it. And if you're going to be strict on singers, definitely it's the ones who sing so that the feeling in the heart really comes out... I've seen musicians who didn't look like much transform completely when under the influence (of the music)... I think that's true whether the observer is male or female-- we mostly respond to something that's deeper than surface considerations--though they are definitely an asset. Bekki |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: sharyn Date: 20 Oct 02 - 05:42 PM Chris Smither, definitely. It's the self-mocking sense of humor, the intelligence, the love of music |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST Date: 20 Oct 02 - 03:53 PM Emmylou shines at any age and is still bright and beautiful. Joni in the late 60-s early 70's. Yes and Connie Dover now. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,Dave Date: 20 Oct 02 - 03:36 PM Jess from Hekety/Crucible, anyone else seen her? Nice leather trousers! |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,jennifer thorp Date: 20 Oct 02 - 09:47 AM Can't believe John Kirkpatrick only got one vote in this - somewhere between Mick Jagger and Elvis Presley but with a melodeon on the front - prowling onto the stage and leaping onto the first tune like a lithe, reckless leopard with a shout of "GO!" (Don't anyone tell John Tams I've just demoted him) Jennifer |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Gillie Date: 10 Feb 02 - 07:59 AM Definately John Wright, John Ward abd Chris Sherburn - all drop dead gorgous. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Nemesis Date: 08 Feb 02 - 07:26 PM 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! |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,Janice in NJ Date: 06 Feb 02 - 08:41 PM F: Holly Near. It's the hair! Take me, I'm yours! M: Bob Dylan. Even after all these years, the "unwashed phenomenon" still makes me breathe hot and heavy. I wouldn't want a relationship, just a roll in the hay. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Irish sergeant Date: 06 Feb 02 - 04:14 PM 1960s-70s Toss up, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell *0-now Lui Collins Neil |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: captain wheels Date: 06 Feb 02 - 01:48 PM THe sexiest folk singer is, without a shadow of a doubt Davie Robertson of the Wee Toon Tellers. |

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Peter Kasin Date: 05 Feb 02 - 10:45 PM Kate Rusby. Emmylou Harris gets more and more attractive with age. Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh. |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Clinton Hammond Date: 05 Feb 02 - 03:30 PM Makes me wish I knew her... I'm pretty sure I could make sure she didn't like me, if that's what it took! LOL!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: RichM Date: 05 Feb 02 - 03:28 PM Eliza Carthy singing about giving blowjobs to men that she didn't even like? Now there's a girl with charity in her heart... |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,Betternotsay! Date: 05 Feb 02 - 01:50 PM No contest! Mick Pearce is top of the list, followed by John Kirkpatrick. |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Erica Smith Date: 05 Feb 02 - 01:47 PM and Garnet Rogers! |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Erica Smith Date: 05 Feb 02 - 01:45 PM Alison Kelley! |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Skipper Jack Date: 05 Feb 02 - 10:45 AM 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? |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,swirlygirl Date: 05 Feb 02 - 10:16 AM And here was me going to say English Jon but after the EC posting I think not and may have to say Martin Green so there... :P xxx |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: KingBrilliant Date: 05 Feb 02 - 10:04 AM Rory Mcleod, Alan Burke, Steve Knightly + one of the floppy-haired guitar-thrashers in those Shetlands fiddle-type bands. Kris |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST Date: 05 Feb 02 - 09:15 AM 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.

Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: Dave Bryant Date: 05 Feb 02 - 05:23 AM 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. |
|
Subject: RE: Sexiest Folksingers Alive From: GUEST,English Jon Date: 05 Feb 02 - 03:04 AM Eliza Carthy, silly. Next question. |
|
