- Portico Quartet (Mercury Award nominees last year) have a hang player (a sort of flying saucer shaped metal gong that sounds a bit like a steel drum...really lovely sound)

- Speed Caravan have an oud player (sort of like a lute, used in a lot of Arabic music), and he amplifies it which is quite unusual. plus he's a phenomenal player so well worth checking out.
