Does anyone have any suggestions for this year's Acoustic Gathering festival in Scarborough, which takes place in September?

Looking for lesser known artists in the folk arena. Better still if they're North based.

Was it? Sorry. :p

Yeah well, i was serious about the first. And the guy under the bridge was really good. He was doing alot of Nick drake stuff. But yes, he's probably not a great bet really!

Yes, it was! I have been asked to put forward some names. Last year I got Vijay Kishore on, so am looking for similar calibre. I have a few am suggesting, but wanted some feedback on other artists I may not have come across.
