Prog Folk Britannia

MARY HOPKIN      Not exactly Prog Folk, but Welsh songstress Mary Hopkin is best-remembered for such perennial folk favourites as Temma Harbour, Goodbye and Think About the Children, making her just too good to overlook. Ah, those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end... Heart

 4 stars 1972: Mary Hopkin - Those Were the Days - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL62208D073D39BBF7
 4 stars 2010: Mary Hopkin & Morgan Visconti - You Look Familiar - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kcmDG0Uqb1DTk0ZXC0gJhhXNy7hV4EnQA
 3 stars 2023: Mary Hopkin & Jessica Lee Norman - Two Hearts -  http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nof60idsYtP2qzEW4JZhtCLgMK6ajAO9w

Prog Folk Britannia

HORSLIPS       Not a British band as such, but how could I NOT include one of the best Prog Folk bands from the British Isles and the second best Irish band of all time. Smile

 3 stars 1972: Horslips - Happy to Meet - Sorry to Part - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k_LdGetUZb_F-udwuO6kZ66P7uTtk7hi4
 4 stars 1975: Horslips - The Unfortunate Cup of Tea - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLljRizOmgkdgM-3B_HNEj5LRI_h4DtSOi
 4 stars 1976: Horslips - The Book of Invasions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2MFfAo98KY
 4 stars 1977: Horslips - Aliens - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae0OMLMhrSg

CATHERINE HOWE       Not exactly Prog Folk, but Howe could I not include Catherine Howe!? She's been critically acclaimed in various music magazines as well as being described as one of the great unrecognised voices and a Kate Bush before her time! Catherine won an Ivor Novello award too, despite not being known for her ballet dancing - although I'm sure she looks good in a leotard, just like Kate Bush. Tongue

Prog Folk Britannia

PETER HOWELL & JOHN FERDINANDO      A Psych-Folk duo who recorded five albums together, although only the first album was released under their own name. There's rumoured to be less than 100 pressings made of each of these five ultra-rare collectors items, so if you own any of these LP albums then you're a very lucky bunny indeed. Alternatively, you could order the entire 5-CD box set from Amazon for just £15 + £2 postage & packing - which I did just last month.  Smile

 3 stars 1969: Peter Howell & John Ferdinando - Alice Through the Looking Glass - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOLtZHkRR7gANGWITB5o8sIkmkQnR6IOt
 4 stars 1969: Tomorrow Come Someday - Tomorrow Come Someday - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL90B603471371E95E
 4 stars 1973: Ithaca - A Game for All Who Know - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9A354BAD37B9D00A

Peter Howell later went on to work for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where he produced a revamped version of the Doctor Who theme for the 1980's. Thumbs Up

Prog Folk Britannia

LINDA HOYLE        More of a bluesy jazz singer than Prog Folk, but I have a special Affinity for Linda Hoyle's dulcet tones, so here she is. Smile



AFFINITY      If You Live for the sound of great music and you have an Affinity for Jazz-Rock, then the sweet sound of Affinity could be just the band for you. They only recorded one eponymously-titled album during their brief lunchtime in the spotlight, but Affinity are now almost as legendary as the Hound of The Baskervilles. As well as the aforementioned 1970 studio album, Affinity also recorded an album of Live Instrumentals in 1969 when singer Linda Hoyle was recuperating from a throat operation. There's also an album going back to Affinity's early Origins in the British Jazz clubs during the years 1965-67, as well as a later album of recordings from the years 1971-1972. All of these various compilations wouldn't see release until over 30 years later in the early 21st century, and interestingly, they all featured the same identical album cover tinted in various colours, with the exception of If You Live, recorded in 1968-1970.
 
 
4 stars 2002: Affinity - If You Live (Recorded 1968-1970)

4 stars 2012: Affinity - The Baskervilles Reunion 2011 - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l5km-39TaBR1yC1sdazVUUu1HsFxDZaRs

HUNTER MUSKETT    A tremendously talented tantalising trio of travelling troubadours who were unceremoniously dropped by their record label after failing to find that elusive hit single. Confused

 4 stars 1972: Hunter Muskett - Hunter Muskett - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcRGGRxBjC8
