Songwriting was one of the focuses of the Halifax gathering this year. It makes me wonder about our favourite songwriters at the moment — mainly because there are always new people to discover,
So, who are your favourite songwriters who are writing at the moment? So, no old legends unless they are still doing it. But who do you think is doing it today?

There only ever was, and only ever will be, Bob Dylan.
All the rest is just a cheap imitation.

Got to be leoroberts, anyone who comes up with the line, "Refrets, I've done a few", has to have reached legendary status.

Grace Petrie. That Richard Knott fella. + 1 + leoroberts (like colins, I regard “regrets, I’ve had a few” as one of the great lyrics of all time). Brian

Thanks for these. There's a lot here I don't know. Look forward to hunting them down during the holidays.
Keep them coming!

I’m currently listening to Colter Wall, Jeffrey Foucault and Charlie Parr. With young kids I listen to music to and from work in the car.
