GUEST,lively Folk Bands Recommendations (72* d) RE: BS: Folk Bands Recommendations 07 May 11


If you're looking for something danceable and upbeat (something to get drunk and jump around to rather than moody contemplative music?) then I quite like:
'The Peatbog Faeries' folk fusion.
'The Pogues' are a definite worthwhile listen for anarchic angsty folk youth (of any age).
'Edward II' for reggae/folk fusion.
'Demon Barbers' for traditional jigability (better than Bellowhead for me)

From your short list there, I'd guess you may like some of the stuff Lizzie Cornish posts up from the likes of 'Show of Hands' and 'The Oysterband'.

Otherwise do trawl through the 'Revival' bands, some lovely stuff to be found archived away out there.
