    The "Good old days" thread got me wondering a bit about english folk music.

    I like some of the more up to date stuff like the Levellers and McDermott's 2 Hours.
    Not so hot on the comic type stuff of the wurzels. Chaz n' Dave are cockney folk music but no real message.

    I have listened to a bit of Lindisfarne and I like that. Billy Bragg is under the banner too.
    Bruce Scott has written some amazing songs, Steeleye Span have some good stuff.

    Any recomendations for me?

    i wasnt aware we have/had any folk music bud.

    the best i can come up with is Ozric Tentacles. not sure if they are folk or indeed English.

    hope this helps.

    That is really good. A commercial type of sound but so much more. I'll dig a bit more into that, I likes.

    Some very good stuff here after sampling them Rebs. You would think they would be plugging it. Probably not 'cool' though. I'll certainly be digging into these artists. That Ed Sheeran song is brilliant.

    I know, we'd be celebrating this **** like it is the greatest thing ever if we did it. That Sandy Denny is sensational.
