The acoustic music coffee-house scene survived at a reduced scale. Through the luminary young singer-songwriters of the 1960s, the American folk-music revival has influenced songwriting and musical styles throughout the world.
The British folk revival incorporates a number of movements for the collection, preservation and performance of folk music in the United Kingdom and related territories and countries, which had origins as early as the 18th century.

Aug 29, 2017 · One of the main sources that Van Ronk and Bob Dylan and most of the other participants in the 60s folk renaissance drew on for inspiration in their own music was the archival recordings (taken from 78s made in the late 20s and early 30s) by the old-time blues and country folk singers.

Cecil Sharp is undoubtedly one of the most important figures to consider in talking about any English Folk music. Born 1854, he spent his days as an avid collector of folksongs from the countryside. Much of England’s traditional music owes its existence today to his great mission of recording and preservation. He published many books of sheet music...
The music which Sharp and his contemporaries were so intent on collecting was, however, more than a museum piece to be preserved: it was, and still is a living tradition. An example of this can be found in morris dancing – a dance form at the heart of clichéd English imagery. For all its apparent absurdity, the dance is amazingly popular, and there...
Many classical composers such as Britten, Holst and Butterworth were influenced by the rural music of their country, and used it in their work in a post-war attempt to forge a style of classical music that was purely English. Perhaps the most successful of these composers was Ralph Vaughan Williams whose folk-influenced music is astoundingly beauti...
Folk music was (and still is, although to a lesser extent) always performed in its most simple form in local pubs and clubs across the country. The heyday of the English folk club revival movement, however, was undoubtedly in the 1960s and 70s, when, fuelled by the protest era, folk clubs acquired social relevance and an unlikely scent of alternati...
It all sounds unbelievably mundane now, but back in 1971 English folkies thought the world had stopped when Martin Carthyplugged in his electric guitar on stage. The idea of a band playing English folk with all the trappings of a rock band had initially been discussed by Ashley Hutchings, who founded Fairport Convention. This craze later spawned th...
In the 1980s, the folk re-birth took a different turn. Artists such as Billy Bragg and The Pogues, influenced by the Punk-rock scene that was hitting Britain by storm, set about reinterpreting the folk scene with a manic energy that was as shocking as it was exciting. Outraged letters to the folk mags from diehard folkies appalled by the primitive ...
In the late 1980s, Rod Stradling founded a new band, Edward II & The Red Hot Polkas – his most ambitious and defiant idea to date, he forged English country dance music with reggae, working with reggae dub-master the Mad Professor at the mixing desk. The band’s first album was entitled Let’s Polkasteady, and was released in 1987. Another band to us...
The new millennium has seen a wealth of new English folk talent emerge, in a wide variety of styles. Artists such as Kate Rusby, Bella Hardy, and The Unthankscontinue the tradition of softly sung, evocative stories, whilst Lau and Uiscedwr make fast and furious jigs and reels that incorporate both electronic experimentation and jazz influences. Bel...
Aug 6, 2018 · The folk revival of the 1960s is often the starting point of fascination with the style for many contemporary folk fans. One big effect of the '60s folk revival—thanks in no small part to Bob Dylan —was that it marked the beginning of folk singers, on a large scale, writing their own material.
Jan 23, 2021 · Rarely has this balance been so deftly struck as in the British folk-rock revival of the late 00s and early 2010s, when the movement, often referred to as “nu-folk,” managed to revitalize and...
