First #BritishFolkRevival 1890–1920
Among the most influential of the revival's earliest figures were the Harvard professor #FrancisJamesChild, #SabineBaringGould, #FrankKidson, #LucyBroadwood, and #AnneGilchrist.

Of these, Child's eight-volume collection The English & Scottish Popular Ballads (1882–92) has been the most influential on defining the repertoire of subsequent performers.

Second #BritishFolkRevival 1945–69
Folk-song collecting continued after World War I.

Several individuals emerged in England who had learnt the old songs in the #OralTradition from their communities and therefore preserved the authentic versions. These individuals, such as #SamLarner, #HarryCox, #FredJordan, #WalterPardon, and #FrankHinchliffe, released albums of their own and were revered by #FolkRevivalists.

Here's one from Frank Hinchliffe

Second #BritishFolkRevival included #BritishFolkRock

British folk rock developed in Britain during the mid- to late 1960s by the bands #FairportConvention and #Pentangle, #FiveHandReel, #SteeleyeSpan and the #AlbionBand, which built on elements of #AmericanFolkRock.

Tell me if you hear the variation on a computer game theme in the intro to this #FairportConvention song "If I Had a Ribbon Bow"…
