Sounds like yet another music industry pigeon -holing job to me.

I invented the term Feral Folk back in 1979 (as an alternative to free folk) to better describe the sort of music I was doing in the wild places in Northumberland. True Feral Folk is truly Feral - as such is fiercely non-commercial, and very much anti music industry, born as it is of organic communion & principles of free floating anarchy and community, marrying as it does the principles of Free Improvisation with the Folk Music aesthetic. Feral Folk is an outsider music of cultural vagabonds exploring the liminality of both tradition and creative continuity as is embodied in each & every one of us. It acknowledges the essence & uniqueness of the creative individual. It does not pigeon-hole, and it does not sell its arse for breadcrumbs and butterbeans.

It is everything Glueman & Crow Sister say it is, although I dread the day when I find a CD called The Best of Feral Folk, although maybe John Barleycorn Reborn is the closest we've ever got to such a thing.
