Part 3 Female singers, this time of groups/collabs

I have often mentioned loving Pentangle, and Jacqui McShee is in the list and was one of the first ten or so to come to mind.  As I mentioned to Pedro, I thought he might have given her a vote.  I do remember you being into all of those names.  There's much British folk that I like from that period.  Sandy Denny is great, although I never got that into Strawbs or Fairport Convention. I did not associate her with led Zep even when her name came to mind, and I was thinking mostly about members of bands.  I just mean that the name did not come to mind until soon after I made the poll.  I just went with things off the top of my head and stopped when I had enough.  Be interesting to see what others come up with with the same approach.

I especially like to focus on newer discoveries when I can.  Another British one I thought of soon after posting was Vashti Bunyan, who I even suggested for PA.  One of my favourites from this poll is Barbara Gaskin, and I think of Spirogyra as British folk rock (thought you might comment on Comus, course I remember your feelings on Bobbie Watson and totally get that).  Much of what I like is of the more psychedelic folk variety.  I guess some of the more straightforward British folk rock outfits are not so to my tastes, and I do consider to be more of  a folkie than a rocker, despite my love for some very harsh music.

Anyway, I had hoped for some diversity and I like to cover more than just the usual names.

EDIT: maybe I should starting listing alphabetically by first name, or by listing last name first to make it easier to notice names. And sometimes I get the listing wrong even when trying to do it alphabetically.  I used to list the name in a post to make it easier to spot; should still do that.
