Folk LPs

Chumbawamba sadly no more but evolved into a great acoustic folk-ish outfit.

I regret not going to see them sooner. I saw them at a gig two years before they split up and saw their last UK gig at Leeds City Varieties in 2012 with @CharlieB .

You were quite tardy then. They must have been going thirty years. I wouldn't have called them folk when I used to see them.

I wasn't smitten by their early stuff and assumed that they hadn't changed.

Kathryn Tickell is briliiant and her piping isn't bad either. I'm not too sure about her more recent, less traditional, stuff though.

I must dust down my Northumbrian pipes and sort out the reeds sometime.

[QUOTE 2983382, member: 1314"]Anything by Bob Dylan before he went electric. That's when he was good, like.[/QUOTE]

Yes, no, yes, no, err

I love Dylan, especially his early stuff but I would consider Desire to be my favourite Dylan Album.

System of a Down are quite folky...

Vernon, obviously a man of taste and discernment, briefly mentioned Alan Stivell. I would like to direct the attention of this thread to his live albums via the medium of YouTube:

Even if you aren't a fan of folk music these albums have something very special that transcends music genres.
