Well its obvious who i'm going to say, but Jo McCafferty who this year has played with some of Scotlands biggest names and has played venues as diverse as The Wild Boar to Glasgow Barrowlands, and from The Lemon Tree to the Amsterdam Paradiso, not to mention having sold well over 1000 copies of her acoustic album Radiaxial, and shared a stage with members of Marillion, The Stone Roses, Genesis, the Eagles, XTC, Ultravox, and Big Country.

She plays within Aberdeen but probably isn't part of the popular scene, but she had one of the mosr successfull years of any Aberdeen artist this year. Well worth seeing for people who haven't seen her, and you can see her on Friday at the Wild Boar.

Apart from that I'd have to go for Emma Foreman, who's acoustic shows are brilliant, and her singing and songwriting is of the highest quality.

Cheers

Stuart

le reno amps - no contest i'm afraid.

others are great and novel when they swap their electrics for acoustics (see blastcap and future hendrix) but for straight-forward good acoustic songs with frankly amazing harmonies...

i'm chuffed and a little bit embarrassed at the amount of simpson posts though. i'm obviously paying you too much. :O

Del, it's Estonian Folk Limericks I do. Wouldn't have a clue about all that Latvian nonsense.

My preferred backing tape would be a recital, by Kenneth Williams if you can find a good medium, of all threads entitled 'Best band/musician in Aberdeen'. I think the rythmic flow and repetitiveness of these will provide a hypnotic ambience to layer the limericks onto: like an artist using a palette knife.
