Eva Cassidy,
Everything But The Girl,
Nirvana (unplugged)
Veronique Sanson,

and of course..Ceylan ...
Basically anything that gets the hairs up on her arms and makes her feel...
Mark's more into Tommy Emmanuel & Martin Taylor, Clive Carroll on the guitar side of things, but his early influnces also include Dave Gilmour, and Roger Waters for his composing.
Recently he's become more gypsy in his ways; thanks to Duffy's Cafe Orchestra and his pal Gary, he's getting a swing thing going.
Mark is also influenced a little by gin... best to hear him after a couple and before any more!
Somehow it all works together...if you like that sort of thing!
