Some great suggestions in there!

i'll second the levellers, my suggestions would be the sawdoctors, cara dillon and perhaps the men they couldnt hang.  And I believe hobo jones and the junk yard dogs went down a storm at the beautiful days festival perhaps we could tempt them oop north if we tried hard enough!!!  and i would be happy to welcome seth back again

Another recommendation: A relatively new group called Thistletown. Nice, somewhat out of the ordinary, and associated with Michael Tyack (Circulus) who is producing their first CD.
