Topic: London Folk Scene

I'm absolutely in love with the new folk coming out of the london area. Noah and the whale, Mumford and sons, Laura Marling, Emmy the great. I was just wondering if you guys had been listening to their stuff. If you haven't you should its great.

Its hard to give up something you know might not happen
Its even harder when its everything you ever wanted.

Re: London Folk Scene

folk scene ?

Is this the sort of new folk sort of music like Ami MacDonald etc. she gets classed as folk but I do not see her stuff as folk at all.
Maybe this sort of stuff is getting classed as folk but not in my eyes.
This is not to say they are bad. I quite like Ami's songs, not a big fan but I would not bring her down either.

If I remember tonight I will look out for a few samples of them.

Re: London Folk Scene

Just checked out the list you gave, shuvelhead. I like Mumford and Sons but the rest are ... well.... not my cup of tea. But I'm guessing that if I was in a pub and any of them were playing I'd love them. I could watch paint dry if it was strumming a guitar. big_smile

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??
