Mr. David Viner
Think Nick Drake having a session with Leon Redbone and Son House and you come up with something close to Mr. David Viner. Thoroughly schooled in the blues, folk, and acoustic pop, Mr. Viner has been toiling away in the United Kingdom, though he did have his first record made in Detroit during the craze there in 2003. Friend of the now defunct Soledad Brothers, Mr. Viner is still in with a class of musicians that have kept the spirit of old Rock N Roll, blues, and folk alive. I

Hank Wangford & The Lost Cowboys
The distinguished English country and western songwriter Hank Wangford (the stage name of Dr. Samuel Hutt, born 1940) currently tours and plays as "Hank Wangford & The Lost Cowboys". This is a return to a more folk and country orientated approach compared to earlier versions of the Hank Wangford Band. The current lineup is Hank with Reg Meuross (vocals, banjo and guitar), Martin Belmont (guitar and six stringed bass), Kevin Foster (bass) and Roy Dodds (drums). During 2008, B. J. Cole (the UK's greatest pedal steel and dobro player) appeared with the band on a number of occasions.
The Downliners Sect
The Downliners Sect was a British rhythm and blues band of the beat boom era, formed in 1963 when the existing Downliners band split up. Stylistically, they were similar to The Yardbirds, The Pretty Things and the Rolling Stones, playing basic R & B on their first album "The Sect". They subsequently modified their musical style, and after an EP of 'sick' songs (eg 'I want my Baby Back') they experimented with both country ("The Country Sect") and rock ("Rock Sect's In").
