"How many of those regard or market themselves as 'Folk'?". Good question. Pretty much all of them, I'd say. Just not necessarily 'folk scene' folk. Burd Ellen "Burd Ellen is a collaborative project featuring Debbie Armour (Alasdair Roberts, Green Ribbons) and Gayle Brogan (Pefkin, Barrett’s Dottled Beauty). The group uses traditional song to explore and evoke dark landscapes and deep stories. Innovative instrumentation, drone and sound-wash support detailed vocal work to create a unique sonic atmosphere."
