One woman I forgot in my first post, who has been played near incessantly at Bee Towers:
Aldous Harding.
Both her albums are very firm favourites here. I say both, meaning Party and Designer. Her first, which I bought last, I’m still getting to know.
So pleased there is so much support for the girls. There are many names I’d forgotten, and many new ones. I plan on checking out each and everyone of these. Before starting this Topic, I thought I may get a few dozen new names, but at this rate, it will take me all of 2021 
Keep em coming
With The Strawbs, Fairport Convention, Fotheringay or solo, it still has to be Sandy Denny. Many others I enjoy listening to, but none surpass her.
Oh and this by Victory Boyd is another I regularly come back to. Marvellous. Yet seems to have disappeared. Perhaps a specialist music company could track her down and drag another album out of her?
I forgot Sandy Denny and Eva Cassidy. Two of the very best, but very sadly no longer with us.
I seem to be listening to far more female artists nowadays.
Taylor Swift
Dua Lipa
Charlie XCX
Christine and the Queens
Lana del Rey
Lorde
Laura Marling
