I'm starting to think that there is hope for young people nowadays. Yes, your roving reporter, after some intensive research (I heard the first song in a clothes shop, and the second in a beer advert on the telly) has found the next 'new Bob Dylan'. Or perhaps more accurately the 'new Donovan'. Can be a bit self-conscious and his singing suggests that he's playing a part rather than just being himself. But you could have said much the same about Dylan or Donovan when they were 18. One to watch. And listen to....
