Which are your favourite folk bands? Your favourite singers? Your favourite instrumentals?
"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
I'm a massive massive fan of Carreg Lafar, Ffynnon (dunno if they count as folk.) Further afield, I like Lisa Knapp, Kate Rusby (England), Omnia (from the Netherlands), and Faun (from Germany) and Mediaeval Baebes (from England), although those last two are more Mediaeval/choral/atmospheric than folky.
ReplyDeleteNot much a fan of the old folk-rock, although I loved Steeleye Span. Shirley Collins was more my cuppa.
