Thank you Mike Waterson!

One could think that we have heard most of the classic English folk-songs out there but of course this would be totally wrong!

Since Matts and me were off to Great Britain last week we took some time to buy a couple of albums. I'm a big fan of Eliza Carthy so we poped in at Fopp and bought her latest album. Less folk than we usually have on this blog but it's still nice.
Here's the opening track live:


We also bought a collection called Simply Folk which had a few surprises! Nice.

As a small, small, token of appreciation from us to a great voice, here's Mike Watersons acapella version of Cold Coast of Iceland.

But as he himself explains the folkscene in this video (at 0:24)

you carry on singing songs! Music, at least, is forever.
We will sing the next Bellman to Mikes' memory!

Finally, if you like, you can have a look at how truelly music inspires and continues though everything!! This lady make do of what she has. Like a light-bulb...
