EITHER

'Shirley Collins' linocut print.

'Shirley Elizabeth Collins MBE is an English folk singer who was a significant contributor to the English Folk Revival of the 1960s and 1970s. She often performed and recorded with her sister Dolly, whose accompaniment on piano and portative organ created unique settings for Shirley's plain, austere singing style. At the age of 83 Shirley has just released the album 'Archangel Hill' on Domino Recordings.'

'Biz Markie' linocut print

'Marcel Theo Hall, known professionally as Biz Markie, was an American rapper and singer. Markie's 1989 single 'Just a Friend', became a Top 40 hit in several countries.
Markie was sometimes referred to as the "Clown Prince of Hip Hop".'

In the interests of consistency I've cut and paste this from Wikipedia but it's weak sauce; two certified album bangers in 'Goin' Off' and 'The Biz Never Sleeps', bringing beatboxing to the masses and his wonderful cameos on 'Yo Gabba Gabba!' for starters. Rest In Power, Biz.

'Ivor Cutler' linocut print

'Ivor Cutler was a Scottish poet, singer, musician, songwriter, artist and humorist. He became known for his regular performances on BBC radio, and in particular his numerous sessions recorded for John Peel's influential eponymous late night radio programme. He appeared in the Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour film in 1967 and on Neil Innes' television programmes. Cutler also wrote books for children and adults and was a teacher at A. S. Neill's Summerhill School and for 30 years in inner-city schools in London.

In live performances Cutler would often accompany himself on a harmonium. Phyllis King appears on several of his records, and for several years was a part of his concerts. She usually read small phrases but also read a few short stories. Cutler also collaborated with pianist Neil Ardley, singer Robert Wyatt, guitarist Fred Frith, musicians David Toop and Steve Beresford.'
