British Folk

British Folk is a genre characterized by its introspective and poetic lyrics, often accompanied by acoustic instrumentation such as guitars, fiddles, and flutes. Emerging in the 1960s, it drew from traditional English, Scottish, and Welsh folk music, while incorporating elements of psychedelia, rock, and jazz. The genre's heyday, spanning the late 1960s to early 1970s, saw a surge in popularity, with many artists experimenting with the boundaries of folk music. British Folk's cultural significance lies in its ability to capture the mood of a generation, reflecting the social and environmental concerns of the time. Notable for its introspective and emotionally charged songwriting, the genre is also marked by its use of modal melodies and folk-infused harmonies. Distinct from American folk, British Folk's unique blend of traditional and contemporary influences sets it apart, while its influence can be seen in later genres such as indie folk and singer-songwriter music.
