And as a heads up, I imagine a lot of people will be voting for Freddie Mercury, Roger Waters and Mick Jagger…
A lot of people voted for Barabus.

If the question is who is the best British singer in a rock'n'roll style then my vote would have to go to the irascible old lockdown sceptic:

as 10cc say, not in hove
Another nominee for the female category and another blast from the past is Scottish rocker Maggie Bell, vocalist for Stone the Crows.....

Her vocals might be more familiar to those who enjoyed TV detective dramas in the 70s/80s as she sang on the credits of long running tv series Taggart and not quite so long running TV series Hazell....

Her vocals also featured in yet another TV detective series, "Lewis" when she provided the singing voice for Joanna Lumley's character in the episode "Counter Culture Blues"






IN!
Nick Lowe

Perfomer, writer, producer and , for a while, Johnny Cashs' Son in law.

......and pertorming at the DWLP in February
Nick is in!
