Folk Bands and Artists
Cunning Folk
London
Cunning Folk sings songs about the ritual landscape of the British Isles, traditional folk songs & songs about magic. Cunning Folk is an old English term for someone who could lift a curse, heal, set a protective charm, find lost things & predict the future. A true storyteller, Cunning Folk´s sophisticated, wonderfully accessible songs weave tales of Britain´s myths and history, occupying the same English underground alternative folk terrain as Julian Cope, The Incredible String Band, Comus and Vashti Bunyan.
