[Graham Dannatt]

My musical journey started in 1971/72 when the Beatles had just disbanded but a whole raft of great artists where coming to the fore. Names like T.Rex, David Bowie, Roxy Music, Elton John and Rod Sterwart. As I got older my ears become attuned to the more heavier sounds of Zeppelin and Floyd and through Americas west coast to the british folk artists I am discovering today. Some favourites of mine:

T.Rex Electric Warrior

David Bowie Hunky Dory

Led Zeppelin 1

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here

Crosby Stills and Nash

Fleetwood Mac Tusk

Neil Young Decade

Beatles Rubber Soul

Grateful Dead American Beauty

Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks

The Clash London Calling

Wishbone Ash Argus

David Crosby If I Could Only Remember My Name

Lady Maisery Cycle

The last one isn’t an household name by any stretch and I would be impressed if anyone else on here has even heard of them but my word are they brilliant. A female folk trio delivering harmonies at the highest level, and just one example of many talented and inventive folk artists on todays scene
