Fruitbat of Carter USM fame, still writing some of the best songs ever written with his new band Abdoujaparov. A bit of a mouthful, but well worth checking out. Song writing genius.
If you want to hear acoustic music done really REALLY well, this is the place to go. Some of these songs are rather political, but that's no bad thing. Have a listen.
I just love everything that Jim Bob records. His way with words inspired me to try my hand at writing. I'm nowhere near as good, so go listen to one of Britain's best ever songwriters.
