Mine was Peter, Paul & Mary.

Their time was brief, but I also loved Best of Friends (Tom Paxton, Bob Gibson & Anne Hills).

Also Herdman, Hills & Mangsen and the Short Sisters.

I loved the Cumberland three , especially John Stewart. I still play my old album, "Songs of the Civil War". Thought the Journeymen were great as well.

I enjoyed Heron on the one occasion I saw them. Gerald Moore was a nice bloke and a mighty guitarist.

I thought the Marx Brothers were Karl Groucho and Skid.

Lambert, Hendricks and Ross

I don't think Dave, Jon or Annie ever thought of themselves as a "folk" trio.

Subject: RE: fave folk trios
From: GUEST,worker

Crosby, Stills and Nash. Before the Young was added. It's not that I have anything against Old Neil, but I thought that trio put out some of the finest harmonies, musicianship ever heard in the late sixties.

Subject: RE: fave folk trios
From: GUEST,Mike Miller

OK, I don't think of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross as folk, either, but Mudcat has, so, diluted the meaning of "folk" that they, surely, qualify. If blues is folk, so is jazz. (No one would have balked if I said Joni Mitchel but she sang "Twisted", not as well as Annie Ross, but you had to give her an A for effort)
Oh, allright, if you don't want them to be "folk", a'bi gzindt, but weren't they terrific?

CSN for sure.
PPM as well...went to three of their concerts in Chicago in the 60's.
Kingston and Chad Mitchell, also.
Can I combine Joni, Judy, and Laura Nyro? What an act that would've been. Or Joan. Any combination.
The Roches...they're unique...and from Jersey.

Zorn, Downes & Beer were really excellent in the early 80s. That was Bill Zorn, Paul Downes & Phil Beer. It was the version of the Arizona Smoke Revue you booked if you folk club was too small for the full 5 piece.

Faith, Folk & Anarchy (Martyn Joseph, Steve Knightley and Tom Robinson) was a relatively short lived project early this century. A superb blend of music. Most of the gigs were in 2002, but the "final" gig was in 2004. They produced just the one very good studio album (now deleted) and an absolutely stunning live CD (which is still available). I understand a short reunion set is planned for the Royal Albert Hall in a couple of weeks and perhaps a full concert in December.

Roaring Jelly and Six Hands in Tempo both deserve honourable mentions.
I sure liked the sound of CSN, but I'll steer clear of those, "What is folk?" debates...

The Limeliters aren't gone. Bill Zorn has defected to the Kingston Trio, but he has been replaced and Gaylan Taylor has also now joined them too.

http://www.limeliters.com/

Funnily enough, last time I saw Gaylan (December 2004) he was with Bill & Pete Zorn plus Paul Downes in the Arizona Smoke Revue, sort of playing the part of Phil Beer.

As far as I'm concerned the Limeliters were, and always will be, Alex Hassilev, Glenn Yarborough and Lou Gottlieb. Any other combination is a sham.
