Tom Odell and Alfred Douglas come to my mind.

Lower saxons are about as close as you'll get to original Anglo-saxons, probably frisians too.

Right. Some people wrongly think that the Saxons in East Germany are related to the Anglo-Saxons.

Lower Saxony is where the Angles and Saxons originated.

You are absolutely right:

I quote part of the text:
"When we compared our data with an additional 177 samples collected in Friesland and Norway, we found that the Central English and Frisian samples were statistically indistinguishable.
The best explanation for our findings is that the Anglo-Saxon cultural transition in Central England coincided with a mass immigration from the continent. Such an event would simultaneously explain both the high Central English-Frisian affinity and the low Central English-North Welsh affinity."

Yup and it can be backed up by geneaology I assume for now until there's more men tested. One of my y-dna subclade matches is a Frisian and according to him it's "Saxon". There's one from Kent, England where they migrated en masse as well.

It's actually fairly easy to tell Frisians and English apart using gentic stuff, this study must be outdated.

It should be noted they mentioned Central English though. England is a large area - some regions are said to be more Frisian-like, others more Celtic and some with additional Scandinavian input.
