A-Z of musicians I know, like and respect

An on-going transient project of (near) daily Twitter updates, each with a link to a piece by the featured artist(s).

Update: Due to a few requests to do so, I have decided to list the musicians that made it into my A-Z. It was a horrible process, neccessarily with LOTS of ommissions. My aim with this morphed slightly into hopefully introducing people to some artists they may not be aware of. That doesn’t mean the chosen musicans shouldn’t be in my A-Z it just means that more established names were often ommitted in favour of more obscure artists and bands. I could do it again tomorrow and again and again, with other musicians I admire…but for now I won’t.

Here’s the list:
