17 Mighty Oaks
18 Morrissey & Marshall
19 Gregory Alan Isakov
20 Ben Howard
21 Damien Rice

This musician inspired Ed Sheeran. Released three albums O,9, and My Favourite Faded Fantasy. Although Lisa Hannigan left him, his last album released (My Favourite Faded Fantasy) left an astonishing message for Lisa. He utilizes instrumentation well and the lyrics to his music leaves your heart saddened and empathetic to him. A beautiful musician.
