Actually, I think I might be a trickle down example myself .... cos I first encountered 'folk' in the Steeleye years. But now my tastes are much more 'pared back' shall we say - my collection includes tapes of Sam Larner, Bob Roberts and Copper family, Dolly and Shirley Collins, Peter Bellamy - as well as Tim Laycock (pretty much everything he has ever done), Dave Webber & Anni Fentiman, Cyril Tawney, Stan Hugill - and (as they say when they can't think of anything else to put) much much more.

I think there is ONE Steeleye Span CD in there - but hubby bought that, not me, he said it was for Old Times Sake. I haven't listened to it.
