^ Hi Cindy. From the U to Z list above, I only have the two albums by Weyes Blood on CD and I also have Vashti Bunyan's Lookaftering on my Windows Media Player, so I still have a lot of listening to do. I compiled these album lists originally between 2013 & 2015 when I used to run my own music site (YouTube Episodes & Music), so they're seriously in need of an update now.  I'll have many more Folk album links to share in the not too distant future, just as soon as I have my new Folk Britannia channel up and running on YouTube. Smile

Weirdly, I forgot to include the Wyrd Sisters, even though I have one of their albums on CD. Embarrassed

LOL
They're my feelings too, and I can't believe I didn't include a Mostly Autumn album in my Top 10, when they're listed as Prog Folk here on PA. Embarrassed

I'll have an A-Z playlist of all things Folk coming up shortly, just as soon as I've gone through the long list of artists and albums again on the previous few pages. Smile

To be honest, I only included North Sea Radio Orchestra in my playlist because I couldn't think of another British Folk band beginning with the letter "N", and I've never been a fan of the Cardiacs.  Embarrassed

No, I didn't mean that you were a Cardiacs fan, I simply meant in general it would be good for us Cardiacs fans to use that.
