Fokeman ● 6th Aug 2018		CD Album Midlake - The Courage Of Others (2010)	Totally agree Gregs45s! - Winter Dies is an absolute classic for me... [YouTube Video]
Fokeman ● 31st Jul 2018		CD Album Various Artists - The Folk Handbook (2007)	In my opinion this should be linked to the UK label Veteran which has about 50 releases and which I will begin to put up now.
Fokeman ● 30th Jul 2018		CD Album Various Artists - The Folk Handbook (2007)	Is there anything that makes this NOT UK? Veteran are based in Stowmarket, Suffolk and are a small UK (English) operation who supply CDs of traditional English, Irish & Scottish music. They are very specifically UK based and the book is really a UK publication too.
Fokeman ● 8th May 2017		CD Album Paul Brady - Welcome Here Kind Stranger (1994)	Yes, all tracks traditional arranged by Paul Brady. He learned Don't Come Again from Eddie Butcher. See his Free Reed album... Packie Manus Byrne, Robin Morton (of Boys of The Lough), Cathal McConnell (ditto), Geordie Hanna, Kevin Mitchell & Christy Moore also get a mention for providing traditional material.
Fokeman ● 8th May 2017		CD Album Andy Irvine And Paul Brady - Andy Irvine And Paul Brady (1993)	I'm not sure how helpful this date is...
Fokeman ● 4th Feb 2017		CD Album Lal Waterson - Teach Me To Be A Summer's Morning (2013)	A testament to the design ability and vision of the label owner, David Suff. A wonderful work of art. A fitting reminder of the genius of Lal Waterson.
Fokeman ● 31st Jan 2017		CD Album Various Artists - Hard Cash (1998)	The Keith Hancock track is particularly fine with some archetypal Richard Thompson guitar backing later in the song.
Fokeman ● 25th Jan 2017		CD Album Clannad - Crann Ull (1988)	Further research online reveals that Enya DID actually perform on this LP with background vocals and piano but was not credited on the sleeve as she was just performing as a guest. When she left the group it was with the Producer Nicky Ryan, who took her under his (and his wife's) wing in order to help her get her own career to take off. Which it eventually did with SPECTACULAR success.
Fokeman ● 25th Jan 2017		CD Album Clannad - Crann Ull (1988)	To answer and give further details. Enya or Eithne Ní Bhraonáin is the younger sister of Máire Ní Bhraonáin. She appeared on the album Fuiam with the group and then left shortly afterwards. She found fame as Enya and Máire is now called Moya (a name she already used as a shortening of Máire) or Moya Brennan (the anglicised form of Bhraonain). I know I'm repeating a bit what has already been said.
Fokeman ● 14th May 2016		CD Album Various Artists - Three Score & Ten (2009)	I lent them some of my records for this compilation.
Fokeman ● 14th May 2016		CD Album Various Artists - Special Delivery In Hi Fi (1991)	No catalogue number - no reference number whatsoever.
Fokeman ● 13th May 2016		CD Album Various Artists - Hard Cash (1998)	Reissue of the Topic/Special Delivery LP/CD of the same name but with different artwork. This was a shelved BBCTV programme which had all the music prepared for it before it was cancelled. Some great music...
Fokeman ● 4th Apr 2016		CD Album Richard Thompson - Small Town Romance (1986)	That's great, thanks Greg
Fokeman ● 28th Dec 2015		CD Album Sixteen Ninety-One / Castle Ceili Band - A Way For Ireland	This was actually a series of CDs released by Arfolk - spinning out their back catalogue with an additional CD by Ted Furey, Patsy Whelan & John Wright.
Fokeman ● 11th Dec 2015		CD Album Various Artists - Folk Heroes (1997)	With a catalogue number which starts RTE I would think this belongs under RTE
