Music of interest

Recently was the Cheltenham Folk Festival. I was a bit dispirited when I realised this clashed with the Bellowhead Europe tour, as that took so many young folkies out of the country. Or so I thought... it was dominated, in every sense, by the new line-up of the reformed Albion Band. I was already disposed to think well of them with the awful way people were treating them online before they even got to hear the music, but they really are the successors to the name. And the gig itself... I maintain in years to come I will be proudly saying I was there for the new Albion Band's first gig.

If you like Bellowhead, check them out.

If you like the Decemberists, check them out.

If you liked Steeleye Span or Fairport Convention, check them out.
