i was clutching at straws even suggesting Alestorm..

[pantomime pirate folk metal !!!???..
do they do bookings for childrens birthday parties ..]

..clearly, providing a list of really excellent scandinavian and central/northern
european pagan medieval folk metal bands is so much easier


but us Brits seem to me to be virtually nonexistent in this most positively interesting and creative genre..

..actually.. musically, i wouldn't mind having a go at it,
i love loud guitars and battle drums and bagpipes..

but think all the stage costume mud, woad, and animal skins
might create havoc
with heat rashes during summer gigs..
