lojo Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Having a rare no pressure morning listening to music and I have to say The imagined village is simply the best and most inspiring musical project I've been touched by since my youth.

oggiesnr Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Scary, I remember Martin Carthy doing "Cold Haily Windy Night" as part of Steeleye Span forty years ago and then it was also regarded as ground breaking! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yep me as well. The problem with 'groundbreaking' is that the soil eventually subsides and you have to do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wriggers Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Being a long-time folky I have encountered several innovative bands and concepts. The Imagined Village are up there with the best. A few of the bands that I remember with fondness over the years include Fairport Convention, Alan Stivell Band, Steeleye Span, The Albion Band, Planxty and Afro Celt Sound System. Anyone care to add to the list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I ordered a copy on the basis of the "reviews" here - arrived yesterday - listening to it now..really enjoying it... Since getting into Kate Rusby (what a voice!!!) I've been enjoying Folk a lot more than I would have admitted to years ago..Lozz196 and I went to a gig recently (lent a bass to another BCer, Lawrie) and really enjoyed it - especially the Harp player - so much so that I'm committed to a Harp player being at my bedside when I die... Can recommend this album thoroughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
