The Albion Band’s “Lark Rise to Candleford” was one of my childhood exposures to folk, and I still have my parents vinyl of it. Listening to it again, I had forgotten quite how good it is. Though I appreciate different tracks to I used to, I think that uplifting opening is why I have such affection for “Brighton Camp”.

Also you can play a guessing game each time you hear a melodeon: is that John Kirkpatrick or John Tams playing it? (What, you didn’t know that Tams could play the box as well as singing, fiddling etc? Shame!)

Cool European bagpipe tune project - not the cheapest of things but looks too good not to back and get a pretty book of tunes… check out https://www.ulule.com/le-printemps-des-sonneurs/ while there is still time!

If you give these young lads 5 minutes of your day, they'll take you on a journey. Getting Clannad / Robin Hood vibes off this one.
