22 Prog Folk

Published June 28, 2015 | By Alan DJ

And what is Prog Folk, you ask? Well, there are a few definitions, but the one I worked with is Folk, but with a tendency towards modern instrumentation (“Electric Folk” if you like), placing a high value on good musicianship, a certain whimsicality in titles and in execution, often straying far from traditional tunes, but still retaining an overall “folk” feel.

Very hard to cut down the mass of tracks, even after putting some in the preshow and more in the postshow. We may revisit this subject
