A very happy 85th birthday to Martin Carthy, one of the true greats of English folk music. Thank you for decades of songs, stories, and inspiration.

Martin Simpson's upcoming album, Some Kind of Jubilee, is more than an album, it’s a living testament to a lifetime immersed in music. Listen to the first single, The Recruited Collier, and find links to pre-order the album here: https://t.co/jYgqiGOI7m

🖤Calibrating Bill Leader’s importance for Britain’s folk scenes is impossible. He did so much to preserve and foster Britain’s traditional and revivalist folk music for future ears. Sail on, Bill.

[Topic Records @TopicRecords]

RIP Bill Leader. A pivotal figure in the British folk revival, who has passed away leaving behind a legacy woven into the very fabric of traditional music.
Bill Leader will be remembered not just for what he recorded, but for what he helped sustain, a living tradition.

Dick Gaughan's Handful Of Earth is reissued on vinyl next Friday. Widely hailed as one of the greatest folk albums ever recorded, it represents a living work still resonant in a time of social struggle, economic uncertainty & devolved national identities.

Digging in deep with Scottish folk-singer Dick Gaughan’s passionate act of personal and political liberation. Read the story behind Handful of Earth, the 1981 album. @SonglinesMag

Morning! Hope you're having fun with our theme of #herbsandspices. I've got lots of herbs but not many spices. I'll start off with a some rosemary from Anne Briggs.
