What the folk?

[jollynolly]

Come on the folksters, I am waiting patiently for the likes of Bellowhead, The Demon Barbers, Jim Moray, Noah and the Whale, Laura Marling even the Braggster to throw out some info regarding playing Glastonbury. I emailed Mr Frank Turner who is playing it safe and not confirming anything yet. I think Emmy the Great will be there as she is listed as strong rumor.

Bring on the knitting and the wizard staffs ohh and the tankards of real ale

Check out Stornoway and the Travelling Band.

glast fest should have far more folk than it does. what it has is often very tucked away. the big chill last year showed the way with prominent acts on prominent stages.

[daveinafield]

what do we think about the fairport rumour?

[Mardy]

not that fussed about fairport, but there's usually plenty of good folky stuff about, just hunt it down. Me, I love it.

[darrenbha]

Sure frank turner had said in an interview a while back he'd be there

[Dorian]

Sheelanagig will be playing in the Theatre Field, maybe some other venues too

[Dorian]

sheelanagig are great. well worth going to see if you get the chance. Superb band

3 Daft Monkeys are a bit folk (& a bit this & a bit that....).

But yes there's not that much folk confirmed yet.

Will I have to go to the real ale tent for no good reason?!?

[daveinafield]

pronghorn will surely be there somewhere

[jollynolly]

I am hoping for Johnny Flynn, Luka Bloom is playing other festivals so he may be a possible, it would be bang on fantastic if he brought his big bro along

i wouldnt be so comfortable putting them in the folk genre anymore

i saw them last year at latitude and loved it, but saw them in february where they played a lot of new material and there was a lot more 'rock' element to it - a definate move away from the folksy sound of the 1st album

sounded great tho

[crashnburn]

Any idea when they are releasing some new stuff?

[crashnburn]

any info about tung playing i missed them on their last tour. iwould recomend the miserable rich to anyone

[dannypal]
