I particular like music that evokes strong imagery or 'the past' - all cultures, but England and it's neighboring islands more so, so I can understand the words. Does anybody out there have some artists they could share that fall into this category ? Last edited by Joe V; 02/12/21 04:32 AM.

Martin Carthy apparently taught Paul Simon the riff to Scarborough Fair! He played as a duo with Dave Swarbrick on fiddle and later joined Steeleye Span. Nic Jones started in a trio called the Halliard but later went solo. He was the most amazing guitarist until a road accident. Both of them are available on Amazon so I assume they'll be on spotify and similar. a good example of Nic Jones's guitar playing is 'Reynard the fox' on ballads and songs the whole album is available here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kxbK46Ql8g for the best folk rock album of all time try No Roses by Shirley Collins and the Albion Band. especially if you've never heard a flanged concertina!

His best known songs are "And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and "No Mans Land" which was recorded by some Irish bands as "The Green Fields of France". I saw him perform several times in the late '70s and it was hard not to tear up when he did those two songs and also another one called "Now I'm Easy". Richard Williams Sydney Australia

I came across this interview he did last year. It's easy to see what a thoroughly decent human being he is and how he is capable of writing such emotive songs.
