Mac I think I actually read about it on her Facebook page.I recently joined karine' s mailing list...received one the other day where she was talking about the upcoming folk awards and reminiscing about a **** Gaughan album and how it reminded her of her late Grandfather who died back in 1992....she mentioned he lived in craigie..in Ayr.......it's just down the road from me...literally across the racecourse.

Good stuff, I must sign up myself.

I've got a Brother who lives in a place called Wemyss Bay near Largs, I could easily live there.

Currently listening to A Julie Fowlis playlist from Spotify... can't understand a word, but music is universal so don't need to.

Currently listening to the new Salt House album Undersong... they've got a new line up from their last album Lay Your Dark Low, with Jenny Sturgeon and Ewan MacPherson on vocal duties as aposed to Siobhan Miller and as good as the debut album was, Undersong is imo, definitely better.

Didn't expect that result!

The Folk awards were very good, apart from the result of the album of the year.

Also, there was an excellent show all about Nick Drake later on presented by Brad Pitt of all people.

I had a listen to the young'uns the other day..not really my cupa....but happy that Karine got artist of the year....wind resistance is a genius piece of work...not for everyone! nor will everyone get it and it's not for listening on repeat maybe once a week or so ...but it's in my faves list.

Yep, they are a bit of an acquired taste, not one I'd buy.

Been listening to some early John Martyn today, albums London Conversation and The Tumbler, very much along the style of Nick Drake.

Wow! you've surprised me with that one Mark... yes I have, but doubted it would be to your taste.

Make sure and listen to Fenne Lily's new album On Hold, I mentioned it on the new release thread.

And I'll touch on the full album Tomorrow..but it sounds promising....

Oh and of wolves from Keld that you mentioned in a earlier post is very good....just because I don't reply..doesn't mean I'm not listening.....sometimes work gets in the way or I forget.
 
there's quite a lot of Scandinavian artists joined the Folk/Acoustic bandwagon over the last few years and some really excellent ones. The obvious ones that spring to mind are First Aid Kit, but give these ladies a listen when you get a chance:

Marika Hackman We slept at last, Siv Jakobsen Nordic Mello and Monica Heldal, Boy from the North.
