Description

The Journey, a twenty six track double album containing the many highlights of the show: from 1969’s debut line up’s first ever live performance to the 1995 model and all points in between (culminating in a massed finale). Coupled with a lavish booklet containing exclusive photos and sleeve notes from Folk Roots’ Simon Jones and with a cast list reading like a who’s who of traditional music – Maddy Prior, Gay Woods, Martin Carthy, Liam Genockey, Michael Gregory, Tim Hart, Tim Harries, Ashley Hutchings, Bob Johnson, Rick Kemp, John Kirkpatrick, Peter Knight, Nigel Pegrum – plus a track listing including Blacksmith, Dark Eyed Sailor, Lowlands of Holland, Cam Ye O’er From France, Thomas The Rhymer and All Around My Hat – this is not just the ultimate celebration of possibly the definitive folk rock band, but perhaps a history of British roots music.
