Delirium Tremens -

 
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.

Lady Stark - Winter Is Coming

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

Silvan - Aurals Velupide!

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.

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.
