Kev and I went to see Boo Hewerdine (ex The Bible and collaborator with Eddi Reader and kd lang, amongst others) by bike and train - brr chilly!
It's debatable as to whether Boo's music is folk or blues, but I'd say don't worry about labels - just go and enjoy. He is a genius at acoustic guitar, a pleasure to listen to. Songs of his that I recognised were 'Bell, Book and Candle' (apparently featured on Emmerdale) and 'Try The Patience Of Angels'. Boo is pretty successful - it's great that he still plays at little places like the West End Centre. His stage banter is very entertaining as well, he's got a very dry sense of humour and is pretty good at one-liners. Didn't fancy winning a CD by dancing to his danciest song though, and nobody else did!
