Last evening, over a few pints, a goup of old folkies discussed their five all time favourite recordings. It made me think that this would be a good place to ask this question as we have have such a wide diversity of taste. It also occures to me that it is also a way to make a shopping list. Just A thought..anyway here's my five Faves......
1] Frankie Armstrong..the first album. Frankie is not a subtle singer,,but she is passionate and presents the songs with great emotion.
2]June Tabor/Maddy Prior/Silly Sisters/The First Album.
3] Mary Jane Lamond/Gaelic Songs From Canada..TERRIFIC.
4] Waterson Carthy/ Common Tongue
5] The Watersons/For pence and Spicey Ale]
