Well, Joanna Newsom has done me another favour. I received the album of the guy who supported her at the concert last week, Ned Collette and, though it's a bit ropey at times, it's generally fabulous. Very Nick Drake. And, to a small extent, Richard Thompson. If you like acoustic singer-songwriters, you could do worse. Only thing is, don't bother following Collette's links to his UK distributor (they seem to be a wholesaler). The Australian source for his album got it to me in no time at all so I'd try them.

Anyway, this all got me a-youtubing music. And where better to end up than with one of the loveliest songs in contemporary English folk...
