  What about Scott Matthews? He's in the UK and he's a bit folky in places. Not be be confused with the US artist Scott Matthew (who has a very similar style).

  Not British, but they supported Laura on one of her recent UK/Ireland tours, have seen them live a few times in Australia and they are everybit as good as Laura, Mumford..etc: http://www.last.fm/music/Boy%2B%2526%2BBear

  @Cherry_Lane - just did a google and I think they're/he is from Malahide, which I don't think is in Northern Ireland. So if you want to be politically pedantic, then no, they aren't British. However, I would just put them in there for the sake of good music.

  How do we interpret "British"? Does it exclude Irish artists? Like Villagers... ?

  Almost all Weekly Top Artists got played, too, on that aformentioned show on BBC radio 1 (Johnny Flynn, Noah and the Whale, Bon Iver as well as KoL). What excellent taste this group has. Haha.

  Since Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling are this week's top artists (not only this week's, I believe), this may be of some interest to some: "If perchance you have a radio to hand tonight, tune in to BBC Radio 1 from 7pm to listen live to the Mumford & Sons and Friends concert. LM, The Maccabees + Bombay Bicycle Club will be performing too. It will also be video streamed live from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 ".

  I agree with LNoah about Alms - awesome band. Used to be Circus Sands, but reformed.
