Judy Aileen Dyble (born 13 February 1949 in London) is a British singer, best known as the original vocalist with Fairport Convention from 1967 to 1968. The group recorded their first album with her, their repertoire at the time consisting largely of American singer-songwriter works plus a few originals. After Dyble's departure Fairport recruited Sandy Denny as her replacement and turned toward the folk-influenced rock for which they became better known.

Performing Songwriter calls Hutchinson, "...A master of introspective ballads filled with understated yearning and an exquisite sense of metaphor." The twenty-six year old describes her style as "lyric-based, folk-pop, with a whole lot of small town idealism and one devastating break up thrown in for good measure." Among her influences she is quick to include poet Mary Oliver along with the likes of David Grey, Patty Griffin, Greg Brown and Shawn Colvin. Her songs are characterized by a weathered but unselfconscious optimism, a love of language and of the natural world.

Travelling Irish folk-rock singer-songwriter and acoustic guitar player with a blues feel. His concerts are about pure music on acoustic guitar, unlike the older studio work you hear here. The track Mission Street (reprise) will appeal to those who like Japanese Anime Soundtracks. CD's that give an impression of Kieran's concerts: 'Glory Dayz' (1995) live with Chris Jones (RIP) on lead acoustic guitar, and 'Akoustik' (1992) with Jimmy Faulkner (RIP) on lead acoustic guitar (ex-Christy Moore and Paul Brady bands).
