The Sound Of Folk

Folk has completely transformed. Long gone are the celtic songs that paraded around a brightly lit fire. Folk has a new face- a younger face. It is not just for the country dwellers or travellers.
Folk is no longer limited to the minority but it is now embraced by the many.

Although the tradition may somewhat be lost, it cannot be argued that the beauty within the music still exists. Here are a few songs that represent the new generation of folk/acoustic.
