Thread Name: Your folk epiphanies
Subject: RE: Your folk epiphanies
I came to folk song and music through dance (Christmas Barn Dance in Lincoln, dragged there by sister and a family friend as parents were ill). Cleethorpes FF 1972ish went as a dancer but saw Robin and Barry Dransfield in a break from dancing, converted to song.

Soon after, listening to Folk on 2 heard "Wraggle Taggle Gypsies/ Give me your hand" from the first Planxty album. Went out and bought a Tinwhistle.
