Trying this out here. We all seem to have pretty eclectic tastes here, so I figured we could swap artists!
Posters, pick a genre or give a description of what you're after, and everyone else, chime in!
To start: this super sad folk record (singer/songwriter style) just popped into my head this morning
Everyone should get super into brass band music because it is cool and good.
Brass band isn't one style but is actually a standardised instrumentation designed to make covering absences easier because the people playing in these bands weren't (and largely still aren't) professional musicians. I'm gonna do a megathread on it at some point I s2g.
This is one of my favourite pieces of original music for the format: Demelza - Hugh Nash recorded by the Cory Band. I've played this solo before, I've got a lot of good memories with it and I think its a good representation of the slow style of original brass band music.
