Beach Boys, Neil Young, Steeleye Span, Joni Mitchell, Eagles, Willie Nelson, Brian Wilson, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, 10cc, Janis Ian, Tom Jobim, James Taylor, Seldom Scene, Manhattan Transfer, Fairport Convention,  too many to list.

Anything else?

We've fairly recently produced an album of traditional Christmas music called 'A Present From Christmas Past'. The music could roughly be categorized as folk-rock, with a hint of country in there too.
