I've only just found them, so not added yet, but list updates to follow in due course...
Making considerable use of 'regular expressions' for formatting & aiding extra searches (e.g. youtube & bandcamp), and eating into practice time(!) I've updated the main list and http://www.david-wright.co.uk/music/stickists/bandcamp/.
There are now 157 Players, though sadly I have no links for 12 of them. The 'No Links' players are grouped at the bottom of the Players section. If you have links for them I'd be interested to know.

Now at 161 players!
The latest additions were:
Rikard Öqvist, a Swedish guy who's had a Stick for a couple of years now. He has an interesting "How I discovered the Stick" story (one of the links), and some youtube videos.
Bucky Muttel, a London busker (street musician) who gave Rikard his first chance to touch & play a Stick.
Jan Hellman, a member of this forum & the guy from whom Rikard bought his Stick. Finding Jan mentioned in Rikard's 'Stick story' caused me to hunt to see if I could find any links for Jan too & I could.

3 more additions taking the players list to 164 entries.
The new ones are:
Jeff Moen : Jeff got a Stick in the mid '90s. It seems he didn't get on with 4ths/5ths & crossed hands & so adopted an uncrossed style with a 2 x ascending 4ths 'double guitar' based tuning (with a couple of thick bass strings on one side). Nowadays he has other tapping instruments too (including NS Stick) and seems to do a lot with the Linnstrument.
Rob Thorpe : Rob's been playing Stick for over 40 years. Guitar, & writing books about technique, seem to be where he earns his living?
Jim Wright : Jim started with Stick (early '80s?) but mainly plays Warr nowadays.

Wow...beautiful job...
Thank you Alain. I keep trying to spot new candidates.
The latest ones came from following up on seeing a Stick in the avatar icon of an "also supported by" on one of my bandcamp albums. That led me to Jeff Moen, which in turn got me to Rob and then Jim.
The previous group came from Rikard appearing in a youtube suggestion.
From now on I hope to do what I've done above, i.e. when I do an update, post here to mention what's changed, with a brief comment for each addition where possible/relevant.

Thanks Boaz. I'll add that next time I do an update. I hope that won't be long - I already have a couple of bands to add from following up on a name I heard in Bob's Zoom call yesterday'.
