Godard

Vic Godard is not limited to one style: Starting off with a singer/songwriter sound he plunged the London mid-70's punk-scene accompanied by "a bunch of south-west London soul boys": Subway Sect. Soon he turned to a more classic pop/jazz approach with a 30/40's wink: Swing...! ...and what not to follow...
Large, very varied discography, still performing (11-2006).
There's lots of artists carrying the title "best kept secret of..."; here's one again...
