Again not strictly within the genre but one of my favourite and early influences, from his days with British folk rock band Fairport Convention right through today. Richard Thompson explores popular music from the last 1000 years. (and great joke at 15.5 mins). Fairport, Steleye Span, Amazing Blondel, Julian Bream and many others helped sow the seed back in the late sixties, linking British Folk Music back to Early Music. A seed which in my case took almost 40 years to germinate, better late than never.
