I am partial to a bit of Jess Glynne, especially live. Probably more I have forgotten, but that’s it for now.

Veronica Swift,
Her current track ‘Prisoner of love’ is a curious thing, which I find quite bewitching.
Apologies for not reading all posts in the thread, but a recent discovery of mine is the group Bat for Lashes (vocalist Natasha Khan).
For the many of you that have cited Kate Bush, very much worth a listen…
