Quote: Albi The Racist Dragon, Mar 2010

Yes you'll all complain it's not proper folk, it's modern etc etc, but Mumford & Sons' Little Lion Man is a tremendous song with a folky vibe.

Very good song.

Winter Is Coming

The gig itself will be the week commencing April 26th, so I need to get a wiggle on to get rehearsals and everything sorted. I have most of the set list sorted, The folk style thing will be the last song that needs arranging and rehearsing.

Even if nothing else gets put into this thread for suggestion it's still been a massive massive help, at least a thousand times what I was expecting

Grog me.

Pentangle?

If I could get an orange that was as low-maintenance as an apple, I'd be a happy man

Aurals Velupide!

John Renbourn, Martin Simpson, Bert Jansch, Kate Rusby, Dock Boggs, off the top of my head.

Like someone else said, might be worth investigating Appalachian/Blues stuff as well.

What can I say? I did it all for the Wookies.

Little Blue Fox.

What's a little sin to see us through?

There are many, many, many different kinds of music that can be classed as 'folk' but for the kinda traditional English stuff it doesn't get much better than Pentangle.

Martin and Eliza Carthy are the luminaries in terms of contemporary stuff, I think.

Whiskey, painkillers and speed will carry me there.....

I absolutely love the Janis Joplin version of that last song as well:

Steve-Dave: Better the devil you know, though. How many of the sensible people would ever vote for Romney?

Walt Flanagan: They're going to be non-votes, not votes for Barack.

Steve-Dave: I doubt it. I'd say that with some of the stuff Romney will come out, people could vote Barack just to prevent Romney getting in.

Walt Flanagan: Well, he's so clearly a terrible human being.

Walt Flanagan: He's going to gaff his way out of the White House, even as the President is hated from all the sides of the spectrum that aren't starry eyed.

Walt Flanagan: The GOP has gone too far towards the Stupid Bigot side of things, it may take years to get back.

Walt Flanagan: I just think people who say that Obama would have to f*ck a white woman on television to not get elected are missing the danger.

Steve-Dave: Oh I think Romney will still give Obama a run for his money. Romney flip-flops a lot. Could appeal to a wide enough base overall to run it close

oatibix: Something's happened here.

Steve-Dave: This is what happens when you leave Colin.

Steve-Dave: And I don't mean "This is what happens when you leave, Colin", I mean this is what happens when you leave Colin. I left Colin and became all sensible and sh*t

Steve-Dave: I'm an equivocating motherf*cker

Rayanne Graff: Yeah, you're sh*t. i'm not sure about sensible, though.

Jimmy: Holy sh*t everything's Barry.

Steve-Dave: Everything's better!

Puffalump: Barrier

Steve-Dave: The Barryest it's ever been

Jimmy: I can't wait for more "Important Barry and changes"

Steve-Dave: Well there will be some Barry and changes coming soon, because we need more donations. It no longer just takes £10 a year to help Barry survive

Steve-Dave: It takes like... £13
