Check out Pentangle if you haven’t done so already.

[@EatBakeSing]

Not so fond of that kind of sound tbh. But thanks. I do much prefer the raw, old fashioned folky stuff. Like the Copper Family for example or Annie Briggs Do you know them?

[@Redsince66]

@@EatBakeSing I liked Annie Briggs as soon as I heard her but was even more impressed when I found out about her life story. I also like Lankum, the Irish folk band. I had tickets to see them in Los Angeles but they cancelled the tour unfortunately. So glad that you are keeping the English folk songs alive, folk songs tell one so much about the history and culture of a society. The victors may write the history books but folk songs tell us where we really come from.

Lovely voice and a real classic song. I have been singing songs like these for nearly sixty years and it is so good to know, and a great comfort to me in my old age, that there are youngster's today who will carry forward the tradition for the centuries to come..... thank you again

[@EatBakeSing]

Ah that’s lovely to hear. Have your recorded your music anywhere?

[@bigoldgrizzly]

@@EatBakeSing Hi, one of all too many things in life that I never got round to. I used to sing in Sussex pubs and clubs, then to Staffordshire and on to South Yorkshire. I got very ill some 20 years ago, and it affected my memory for lyrics badly. Not so for tunes though, they must be stored elsewhere in my head. I also play Anglo Concertina and have a great memory for the tunes, but can never remember what the heck they are called. I still play regularly for English Country Dances, and absolutely love that too :

Exquisite! Am I right in thinking that, although there were national, often patriotic songs, until the start of the 20thC many true English folk melodies were unknown to the musical mainstream until 'discovered' by Cecil Sharpe et al before WW1.

[@nubie34]

These used to be sung by people in pubs etc, often of local popularity. If you get to know the old folk in a village they can remember them. But people didn't feel like singing so much after the world wars.

[@GotDangJosh]

Thank you for an enjoyable sound. The song felt like the soil of a home… I’ve not set foot upon.
