Is Beth Orton the only modern singer on here?

Agree that I'd love to have seen the singers from Mellow Candle (Clodagh Simonds and Alison Bools (O'donnell), but understand if they've been excluded for not being from the UK (Eire). Also, those three multi-instrumentalists from Fuchsia (Janet, Madeleine, and Vanessa) and Pogues Terry Woods' wife, Gay Woods, from Steeleye Span, The Woods Band, and Terry and Gay Woods. 

What a list to choose from! One almost can't go wrong with any of them!

Sorry to be redundantConfusedI hadn't seen or remembered responding to this one before.

Also could've benefitted from including Hannah Miller or Ruth Skipper from the Moulettes. Extraordinary! And what about Katharine Blake and all of her Mediæval Bæbes co-conspirators? 

Your islands have such a wonderful tradition!!


Also new to me from late 2022 are Bristol's wonderful ladies of Hands Of The Heron.

Sandy Denny, then June Tabor, then Maddy Prior.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
