Bit late to the game here, but have you heard of Dan Houghton? https://danhoughton.bandcamp.com/ I didn't know Dan had done a solo album. I've seen Cantrip live a few times, though I think the last time was 2008. (edit: sorry, didn't read the OP thoroughly enough. Brìghde Chaimbeul already mentione...
