English Folk.
Sometimes I get on a kick for sixties and seventies British folk music. I've always loved Donovan, The Incredible String Band, Fairport Convention and Nick Drake among others. But sometimes I want more. Especially on a weekend morning when the fire's going and the dogs are sleeping and I'm on my second cup of coffee. Then I just start trawling around on ebay or Youtube or Allmusic looking for bands that I haven't heard or forgot about. Bands like Agincourt, Tickawinda, Caedmon and Hedgehog Pie. Charming names that make me think of thatch-roofed cottages on the moors where hairy yet clean English hippies in bright sweaters are reconnecting with their history, drinking tea and tuning their fiddles and Uilleann pipes or what not.

That is a very interesting coincidence. I TOO am listing to old Brit folk this morning.
