I thought I knew all the old British fingerstyle players. I looked this guy up after seeing his name on a book of fingerstyle  Celtic pieces he collaborated on with Duck Baker and Stefan Grossman. What a voice, and if you check out some of his other videos his solo fingerstyle playing is phenomenal.
 
PS just look at that guitar. LOL!
 

Really nice. 
 
I don't know much of the Brit folksters but I have always really loved Bert Jansch. They sound like they came from the same school.
 
 

I'm a huge fan of Bert's as well. If you've ever come across a Bert Jansch guitar tab online there's a good chance it's mine. I'm glad I got to meet him before he died. Someone emailed me just the other day saying that the mother of Bert's late wife, a trustee of the Bert Jansch Foundation, is drawing sources for a book of transcriptions of his tunes and asking me if I'd be interested in contributing. It would be awesome to get one of my transcriptions immortalized in print so fingers crossed!

Leo Kottke is well worth checking out too if you've not come across him before.

I saw Evans on a 'Folk At The BBC' show last year, was amazed I'd never heard of him either.
 
Tony McManus is another one I've only found recently, phenomenal player.
 

Tony McManus and Leo Kottke are both incredible.
 
Clive Carroll is another incredible guitarist to watch out for. I almost forgot about him! One of the very best, and great to watch, the guy is full of enthusiasm and energy. 
 

 
 

Have you ever heard of Archie Fischer? He's the onl old Brit folk guy I've got in my collection. Nobody here has ever heard of him.

Yep I love Archie Fisher, I think he was Bert Jansch's guitar teacher. His song Western Island is one of my all time favorites, along with Lindsay and The Snow It Melts The Soonest. He has a sublime folk voice.

One of my best friends tours every couple years with Archie in the USA. If I hear they're headed for NYC I'll give you the heads up. Folk music is very interesting, and it's about as far from dance and rap as you can get. My friend has done more than a dozen albums of his own and produced a couple of Archie's but those guys are virtually unknown hero's.

Thanks for turning me on to some new stuff guys!!!
