If you only want to discuss BRITISH FOLK OF THE 60s AND 70s it would be clearer if you should put in in the thread title.
You've missed the whole point I'm afraid. People usually read the opening thread of a post and the intent of the thread therein. There are lots of threads on PE with interesting cryptic titles for a reason.....fun and imagination.

(at least most of it)
Pentangle is really tops for me...
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
i always had a soft spot for The old british folkies. Especially Steeleye Span. Living in the US though, exposure was/is limited. I'm third generation here in the states with a family that came from a mining town (congleton mowcop) in England , I remember my great grandmother had older folk music like this on 78s, but I could not tell you who the performers were. Lots of traditional stuff.

Still alive and well...
Great, fabulous music. Seriously; some of the best there ever was, IMHO...

Matthews Southern Comfort, founded by Iain Matthews when he left Fairport, had several very good albums with a lot of covers done very well.
I've always loved Pentangle as well.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I'm a huge fan of those first 5-6 Steeleye Span albums, but oddly nothing else in this genre moves me.
You say Mega Ultra Deluxe Special Limited Edition Extended Autographed 5-LP, 3-CD, 4-DVD, 2-BlueRay, 4-Cassette, five 8-Track, MP4 Download plus Demos, Outtakes, Booklet, T-Shirt and Guitar Pick Gold-Leafed Box Set Version like it's a bad thing...
