I have finally got last fm to work, and am now listening to music that I have never have discovered before. the only reason I would not have listened to it before instant the mass media stations would never play it as it would not be considered to be radio worthy.

really enjoying listening to little known acoustic artists....

Has anyone any suggestions on acoustic artists that are a must listen....

A good example of a band who I had never heard of is Mumford and sons.

Ironically Mumford & Sons got quite a lot of airtime a short while back, even on Radio 1..!

Too many artists to list here, but have a riffle through my Last.fm library and see what grabs your fancy. It's a little out of date (I never got round to reinstalling the Winamp scrobbler) but it'll give you an idea. smile

Stephen Fretwell - You'll know him for the theme music to Gavin and Stacey. Had a hit which got a lot of radio play a few years ago called 'Emily' but there are a number of songs on that album that are worth a play.

Liam Frost (Liam Frost and the Slowdown Family) - Released an album recorded with a band again a couple of years ago, don't believe it made any tracks to radio, but makes for a great listen.
