And sticking with the New guys: I have found this Duo, I think you will enjoy. And over 44 million have listened to this (BUT Not surprising when you see WHO the Singer is and WHO wrote it)
Put In:
Ed Sheeran / James Blunt “Sacrifice” (Elton John) 3.44
Well I have to say I thought that was Really Rather Good.
But: I hear someone say.. It was an Elton John song That’s Not Folk…. Well as I said: it’s getting harder to draw a line between what IS and What Isn’t Folk. So it’s IN RAYS CHAT.
