JAMIE N COMMONS

20 year-old folk troubadour with one of the most astonishing voices around. From the murky depths of South-East London, Commons taps into a rich vein of folk from yesteryear - with touches of Richard Thompson and Nick Drake - but with a zeal and charm all of his own. A grand new presence.
