'Scott Walker' linocut print

'Noel Scott Engel better known by his stage name Scott Walker, was an American-British singer-songwriter and record producer who resided in England. Walker was known for his emotive voice and his unorthodox stylistic path which took him from being a teen pop icon in the 1960s to an avant-garde musician in the 21st century. Walker's success was largely in the United Kingdom, where his first four solo albums reached the top ten. He lived in the UK from 1965 onward and became a UK citizen in 1970.

Rising to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the pop music trio the Walker Brothers, he began a solo career with 1967's Scott, moving toward an increasingly challenging style on late-1960s baroque pop albums such as Scott 3 and Scott 4 (both 1969). After sales of his solo work started to decrease, he reunited with the Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s. From the mid-1980s onward, Walker revived his solo career while moving in an increasingly avant-garde direction; of this period in his career, The Guardian said "imagine Andy Williams reinventing himself as Stockhausen". Walker's 1960s recordings were highly regarded by the 1980s UK underground music scene, and gained a cult following.

Walker continued to record until 2018. He was described by the BBC upon his death as "one of the most enigmatic and influential figures in rock history".'

'Enya' linocut print

'Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin known mononymously as Enya, is an Irish singer, songwriter, and musician. Noted for her modern Celtic music, she is the best-selling Irish solo artist and the second-best-selling Irish musical act overall after the rock band U2.

Born into a musical family and raised in the Irish-speaking area of Gaoth Dobhair, Enya (as Eithne Ní Bhraonáin) began her musical career in 1980 when she joined her family's Celtic folk band Clannad. She left Clannad in 1982 to pursue a solo career with Clannad's manager and producer, Nicky, and Roma Ryan as her lyricist. Over the following four years, she developed her sound by combining multitracked vocals and keyboards with elements of musical genres such as Celtic, classical, church, jazz, new age, world, pop, and Irish folk.'
