Thanks for asking. I'm featuring all of the artists in alphabetical order from the full Prog Folk Britannia list below ... 
 Robin Williamson ...

HI,

If you list Robin, you really should list Mike Heron ... he had a couple of really nice albums, and "Diamond of Dreams" is excellent.

Also missing .. PLUS ... which I believe was a Tom Newman side project.

Thanks Mosh. Tom Newman (producer of Tubular Bells) is coming up later in the year and I've heard Mike Heron has a Good Reputation too, so I'll add him to the listings right away. Thumbs Up

Hi,

BTW ... there is one song that someone made more famous than Mike's version (the original) ... actually I think there were 2 of them ... who was that band ... now we gotta think, right? Mind you, it wasn't exactly Bob Dylan, but I think the suggestion might have that MH deserved some words and appreciation.

Sad that Mike has not, to my knowledge, been active in music, or poetry ... he was very special in my book!

DODSON & FOGG       Not a Prog Folk duo as such, but the names of two characters in Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers. Dodson & Fogg are a merry band of classic Prog Folk revivalists led by Chris Wade with an all-star line-up of supporting players, including Celia Humphris (of Trees), Judy Dyble (of Fairport Convention), Alison O'Donnell (of Mellow Candle) and Nik Turner (of Hawkwind). Dodson & Fogg released eleven albums between 2012 & 2016, not one of which is currently available on YouTube, but the smattering of songs and lovely sweet harmonies that are available make me want to hear more. Thumbs Up

 4 stars 2012: Dodson & Fogg - Dodson & Fogg
 4 stars 2013: Dodson & Fogg - Derring-Do
 4 stars 2013: Dodson & Fogg - Sounds of Day and Night
 4 stars 2013: Dodson & Fogg - The Call

DONOVAN      Known mononymously as Donovan, the Scottish folk singer moved to L.A. in the mid-1960's where all of that California sunshine obviously provided the inspiration for Sunshine Superman, whereas Mellow Yellow was presumably a reference to the hallucinogenic effect of smoking dried banana skins, as you do, especially if you're a Hurdy Gurdy Man like Donovan, where anything goes in California - and in England's West Country too, apparently. Smile

DR. STRANGELY STRANGE      A highly-strung Irish folk band from Dublin who were closely-related to the Scottish Incredible String Band, both bands having been managed and produced by the legendary Joe Boyd. Dr. Strangely Strange's Radio Sessions features a strangely-subdued John Peel, who still dreamed of a morning show on BBC Radio 1 FM and who once said, "All I ever wanted to do was hear music that I like and share it with other people." - a sentiment we can all empathize with here on ProgArchives.  Smile

JUDY DYBLE      Who knows where the time goes? I've been away from here for just a week, but it seems like a whole month. The same can be said of folk singer Judy Dyble, who appeared on Fairport Convention's first album in 1968 and then with the short-lived folk duo Trader Horne in 1970 before disappearing from the music business altogether for over thirty years, becoming a mother and a librarian in the meantime. Judy then made the most amazing comeback since Linda Perhacs in The States, recording a whole string of superb solo albums in the early 21st century, culminating in the wonderful collaboration with David Longdon of Big Big Train which arrived at the station in 2020, shortly before they both passed away to that great prog folk convention in the sky. Broken Heart

 4 stars 1968: Fairport Convention - Fairport Convention - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ0A2SEX86ZztMUe-gMVovmBP-GEjV9yo

 4 stars 1970: Trader Horne - Morning Way - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IsBkrcCsoc

 4 stars 2004: Judy Dyble - Enchanted Garden 
 4 stars 2006: Judy Dyble - Spindle

 4 stars 2017: Judy Dyble & Andy Lewis - Summer Dancing - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l3IMFfGEsh_WuVOue7MBGfQSsu7nnD-dg

 5 stars 2020: Dyble Longdon - Between a Breath and a Breath - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lqjryyDtDMJbW2BA8yGRJ657pveZ5CPmQ

TRADER HORNE were a short-lived British Prog-Folk duo consisting of Jackie McAuley (formerly of Them) on vocals, keyboards and guitars, and Judy Dyble (ex-Fairport Convention) on vocals, electric autoharp, recorder and glockenspiel. Their one and only album "Morning Way" was released on Pye Records in 1970 but didn't make much of an impact on the record-buying public at the time, but the album has since become a legendary lost classic and a real collectors item. The original LP album has been known to fetch incredibly high prices. It was subsequently re-issued on CD in 2008 with two bonus tracks added to the original thirteen songs on the album.

The album opens with "Jenny May", a lovely acoustic Folk ballad with Judy Dyble's gorgeous honeyed vocals floating like a warm summer breeze over the gentle bucolic melody. Altogether now, "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind." ..... This quaint sunny Folk tune does indeed make you feel fine and it sounds as quintessentially English as a game of cricket on the village green. The next song sounds very reminiscent of the old Christmas carol, "We Three Kings of Orient Are", which just happens to rhyme with the song title, "Children Of Oare". One of the charming things about this album is each song concludes with a brief but beautiful pastoral flute melody to interlink all of the songs together. The next exquisite piece of music "Three Rings for Elven Kings" is a soft and gentle instrumental number for flute and autoharp, with the autoharp resembling the sound of a harpsichord. Next up is "Growing Man", featuring Judy Dyble's delightful vocals right at the forefront with Jackie McAuley on backing vocals. The music sounds semi-classical, featuring a mini woodwind orchestra, and it's a song that could have had pride of place on an early Fairport Convention album, especially bearing in mind that Judy Dyble was the lead singer on their debut album. It's time now for some "Down and Out Blues", which is just what it says on the label - a mournful bluesy number where Judy Dyble does indeed sound down and out and penniless with these heart-felt lyrics:- "No nobody wants you, When you're down and out, In your pocket's not one penny, And all your pretty friends, You haven't any." ..... Cheer up Judy because the next song "The Mixed-Up Kind" is an altogether jollier tune which sounds like a lost classic which could have come right off Fairport Convention's illustrious first album. It's a truly beautiful melody carried along by the mellifluous strings of the autoharp with Judy Dyble's crystal-clear vocals sounding at their absolute best here. This tremendously appealing song represents the stunning highlight of the album so far and it's also by far the longest song on the album at over six minutes in duration. This song is six minutes of sheer beauty and joyous delight. It's as good as, if not better than anything Fairport Convention have ever done.

Side Two opens cheerfully with "Better Than Today", and what could be better than listening to this charming pastoral Folk melody today, or any day come to that. There's some truly beautiful harmonising between Judy Dyble and Jackie McAuley on this lovely Folk song. The next song "In My Loneliness" is a mournful ballad (just as the song title implies) featuring weeping violins and with Judy Dyble sounding at her most imploringly passionate best here. There's a change of pace for "Sheena", an up-tempo and uplifting melody that swings along exuberantly on a wave of eternal optimism, in the style of some of the best music from the sunshine state of California. In contrast to Side One, where all of the songs concluded with a brief pastoral flute melody, all of the songs on Side Two conclude with a brief tinkling of the ivories. The next song "The Mutant" is a doleful melancholy ballad with Jackie McAuley taking lead vocal duties for a change. And now we come to the title track "Morning Way", a song with trippy lyrics which probably comes closest to the Psych-Folk that Trader Horne are sometimes labelled as. Again, there's some gorgeous multi-tracked harmonising to be heard on this four and a half minutes of musical magic. It's time now for "Velvet to Atone", a solo piano piece with Judy Dyble's crystal-clear vocals gleaming with all of the sparkling beauty of a crystal chandelier. The album concludes with "Luke That Never Was", which opens to the sound of a solemn church organ, although this is just a prelude to a good old-fashioned happy-clappy tambourine song to sing along to in church. If only they really DID sing rousing spiritual songs as good as this in the local parish church, the vicar would surely approve.

"Morning Way" is a charmingly beautiful, one-off gem of a Folk album that we can all treasure for posterity half a century on from it's initial release. Trader Horne's marvellous album is a very pleasant reminder of why we just love those bygone halcyon days of the 1970's, which often brings to mind the poignant refrain, "They don't make music like this any more." ..... which is a shame. Trader Horne are sometimes labelled as Prog-Folk and occasionally as Psych-Folk, but it's basically just an all-round good English Folk album with no strings (or labels) attached.

ECLECTION     Signed to Jac Holzman's legendary Elektra label and with a group name inspired by Joni Mitchell, Eclection truly represent an international collection of folk musicians, consisting of:- Sailor man George Kajanus from Norway; Kerrilee Male and Trevor Lucas (later of Fotheringay) from Australia; Michael Rosen from Canada; & Gerry Conway from Great Britain. Eclection only recorded one incredible self-titled album, which only adds to its unique charm, so let's get together and celebrate Eclection with A Glass of Champagne. Beer

NANCY ELIZABETH      An obscure English Psych-Folk singer whose chances of getting any radio airplay and breaking on through to the other side of pop stardom are about as likely as the Top Gear team breaking on through to the other side of the English Channel in their homemade "car boats", where seaworthiness appears to be a foreign word to Clarkson, May & Hammond. Tongue

ENYA      Sail away, sail away, sail away.... If you'd like to journey through Marble Halls and go with the Orinoco Flow, why not spare some Amarantine love for Enya. Now's your chance to be a Wild Child and Paint the Sky with Stars in shades of Caribbean BlueOnly Time will tell if we'll ever have A Day without Rain in the Book of Days when the only Watermark we can rely on are Trains and Winter RainsAnywhere Is better than being stuck outdoors like an Exile with Drifting dark thunderclouds overhead.  It's in the Rain falling like tears On My Way Home when I recall the distant Storms in Africa. As Evening Falls under the light of those Shepherd Moons tonight, The Memory of Trees in blossom reminds me that spring is on the way, And Winter Came and quickly went away this year. Yes, it's finally time to put on the old sunshades again. Cool Star
