#GenreOfTheWeek #BritishFolkRevival

Albion Band
Generally considered one of the most important groupings in the genre, it has contained or been associated with a large proportion of major English folk performers in its long and fluid history.

The one constant in the band's history has been the band leader Ashley Hutchings.
He was also a founding member of two other English folk rock groupings Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span

Second #BritishFolkRevival included #BritishFolkRock

British folk rock developed in Britain during the mid- to late 1960s by the bands #FairportConvention and #Pentangle, #FiveHandReel, #SteeleyeSpan and the #AlbionBand, which built on elements of #AmericanFolkRock.

Tell me if you hear the variation on a computer game theme in the intro to this #FairportConvention song "If I Had a Ribbon Bow"…
