Are you talking about British folk music, or European, or...? There's a whole world of stuff out there. I can educate the fuck out of you regarding your Eastern European musics, and your Jewish musical traditions, if that's what you're after. For these islands, there are probably better people but I'll have a pop.

Carthy + Swarbrick = epitome of English folk.
There is a thread for every-other type of music and I can't find a Folk music one.
So fill your boots and educate me.
