Thanks! I'd start by googling "acapella English folk". That should lead you to some great artists in a similar vein, like The Watersons and Cockersdale. Also see if you can pick up the soundtrack for the National Theater play 'Warhorse', which is full of beautiful English folk.

Great upload, thanks. Heard them do this live on the BBC Radio 2 Folk awards pre-show and had to hear it again!

This is extraordinary. The bass gives me shivers, it's that 4th interval..... A moder n(ish) eco -gospel! Right up there with Bruce Cockburn for me :-)
