Thread Name: Are 'Folk Arts' Elitist?
Subject: RE: Are 'Folk Arts' Elitist?
Yeah, Spleeny - Ditto Wicker Man there. Probably the very first (and indeed remains virtually the ONLY) folk album I ever bought (about five years ago) - though in my head the fact it was folk never actually figured, it was merely a Soundtrack to a great quirky film.

Have you noticed how influential The Wicker Man seems to be with young folk bands? It's an ambience thing. I crossed paths with these guys a couple months back - but there's more out there who cite The wicker Man amongst influences: The Hare and the Moon
