Brit Folk Magic

The British Isles have a rich tradition of folk music that has profoundly influenced popular music in America as well. Starting with a rousing war song from Ireland’s Planxty (Follow Me Up To Carlow), this week’s wog is a whopping 85 minutes of some of my favorite songs performed by contemporary British artists. These include Fairport Convention, Pentangle, and Strawbs from England; Planxty, Enya, Karan Casey, and Clannad from Ireland; Steeleye Span from Scotland; Loreena McKennit, Canadian though she sounds English; and finally, Donovan, who hails from either a British fairy castle or Trans-Love Airlines. All told, a fabulous of collection of magical tunes just waiting to transport you on a long walk through tors, fens, the heath, or London’s Underground. Find out about it at Podwogging.com.
