Stumbled across a few songs by emerging folk talent Nicholas Stevenson on Hype Machine.
At first listen his accent makes me cringe; it almost seems like he's trying too hard to sound like a distinctive singer-songwriter. However, after a bit of persevering I soon forgot about the voice in favour of the rather lovely guitar melodies and rather astute lyrics. All in all I was quite impressed, there's some definite promise there. I hope he manages to record an album at some point.
