I am a huge fan of folk music and would like to offer some contributions to the juke box.
I have to confess that I am probably more of a 'folk-rocker' than a 'deep folkie' although sometimes, as for instance happened to me recently when I discovered an album by a Scottish band who sang almost entirely acapella versions of traditional songs, if it is well done and not TOO earnest I very much enjoy deep folk too!

What better place to begin this section than with the divine Sandy Denny singing 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes?'

This is an interesting one. It's the same song (written by Richard Thompson) in three different versions. One is a solo performance by him, one by him and his wife Linda together, and one a solo performance by Linda.

This one is a little sad, too . . . and, I know I've posted it before, but it's a favorite, and I'd like to get it up on this board. I like Brian's version best.

love folk - and I love sending it up as well. Fred Wedlock was a Bristolian folk comedian in the 80s when being in the 'folk' tradition while sending it up at the same time was big but that goes back before him and probably always was people subverting a well-known standard. The only one to make it big out of the same kind of localised folk-comedy group was Billy Connelly from Glasgow. At the same time were Mike Harding (the Rochdale Cowboy from Yorkshire) and Max Boyce from Wales. From home, but about 30 years too late, I'd like to include Hedley le Maistre (ba Chra' ma cocq - www.hedleylemaistre.com/ That style of sending yourself up is is no longer UK - but since I'm not UK, why should I bother? But from the wider world, the much under-rated Kenneth Williams doing Folk to death. Something I feel very sad about this (though it is not obvious on this clip) at the time broadcasting made camp trendy, so it was possible to be camp and flouncy and admit to possible homosexual attachment, especially for girls, who have always been brought up to deny any interest in boys and prefer their own sex as 'respectable', but those girls could accept a camp boy as friend and lover because he wanted to be like them instead of demanding they be as demanded of him, the way feminists enforce it.

Celtic Thunder (one of my guilty pleasures ) with an old favotite.

One of my all-time favourites:
Trader Horne, 'Luke that Never Was'
The magnificent songs of Jackie Macaulay and the golden voice of Judy Dyble combined in a song of magical beauty!

Brums, it's asking me to download it. Is it safe?

Thanks, Brum! I enjoyed that - seriously. Is the song original?
