He's a burly, bare-knuckled, blue-collar son of the Missouri plains with dark Irish blood who digs into tough topics with a gentle heart. There's nothing predictable about a Jeff Black lyric other than it will be sung robustly and it will head towards hope instead of dwell on despair.

Well worth checking out.
The Duhks
The five practiced, risk-taking twenty-something musicians and singers who make up this singular new band out of Winnipeg, Manitoba will, if asked, good-naturedly toss out some of the attempts at labels astonished listeners have turned to.
In the two years that they've been a unit, many have tried to describe The Duhks' music - "contemporary acoustic," "progressive soul-grass," and "kick-ass rock/folk fusion" being just a few of the attempts to classify the group.
The Lovers
The Lovers is the brainchild of Tom Hingley - former lead singer of The Inspiral Carpets, a band that along with The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses defined everything that was good about the UK music-scene at the beginning of the 1990's.

The Wiyos play and compose music inspired by the early American musical idioms of the 20s and 30s. Ragtime, Blues, Country- excellent

Tom Kimmel is one of those unique singer-songwriters whose heartfelt artistry with words and music is both genre-crossing and timeless.
Since 1980, when his songs were recorded by Roger McGuinn & Chris Hillman (of Byrds fame) and Levon Helm (of The Band), dozens of his compositions have been covered by a host of major artists including Linda Ronstadt, Johnny Cash, Joe Cocker, Shawn Colvin, Waylon Jennings, the Stray Cats, Randy Travis and the Spinners.
Truman Falls
The band "Truman Falls" centres around the soundscapes created by Simon Rea, an extremely gifted singer-songwriter hailing from the Isle of Man. Debut album "Little Happyhells" combines the timelessness of well crafted songs polished off with a contemporary alternative edge: Simon's writing style is indisputably original and yet at the same time pays subtle homage to some of the greatest songwriters of the last thirty years, from Bacharach to the Beach Boys.
Wisteria Cottage
Very nice B&B five mins walk from Old School Inn, Epworth.
