Does anybody know of any acts that play traditional style folk playing this year?
I know of:
Lisa Knapp
Rachel Unthank
Alasdair Roberts
John Renbourn

John Smith does fantastic trad folk as well as some of his own great songs. He's supported Martyn, Renbourn et al and is a fantastic guitar player, and entertaining and funny performer. Check him out.

Check him out. I wouldn't have thought of him as being trad folk (but I'm never one for categorising music), I agree with the being fantastic part though, very much looking forwards to seeing him play again. |

Diane Cluck is a bit sort of trad. Not my cup of tea, the Cluckster, but each to their own.

Welsh folk too- 9Bach do twisted Welsh folK. Good version of the son Can Merthyr. Fernhill are very folky sort of people. Even Gruff Rhys did a trad welsh folk song in his set last year. Most of the Welsh performers lean towards the folky end of things.
