BB_Bino Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Came across a few of my old Levellers cds last week and I’ve been listening to them nonstop. I actually forgot how much I liked them. What other Folk Rock bands/artists are worth checking out?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sorry, I actually like folk rock but only encounter it when there's a band playing in a pub, and I never remember their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Horslips. That's all you will need. If you veer into folk-metal there's an entire universe of wonders out there to discover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrshireTon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The Decemberists - particularly the first five albums. The latest one arrived in the post yesterday - not had the chance to listen to it. Going to see them at the O2 Academy in a November - fantastic live. file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rather fond of The Unfortunate Cup of Tea, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They reformed a few years back and played to sell out crowds in both north and south of Ireland. . Charles O'Connor became arts correspondent for the Irish Times post initial Horslips; high level of musicianship. Johnny Fean is a very distinctive guitarist combining his early blues background with a Celtic edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
