Album lore
Bbc Radio 2 Folk Awards 2016 assembles thirty-one tracks spanning folk, traditional folk, medieval, and renaissance styles, released by PMD in late 2016. This compilation gathers varied voices and instruments from the UK folk scene, capturing the breadth heard on programs like Druidcast and Radio 2’s folk show. Among the selections, “Mackerel” stands out, alongside pieces such as “Great Grey Back,” “Polly On The Shore,” and “The Unquiet Grave,” each contributing to a broad palette of acoustic textures and storytelling.The album serves as a repository of contemporary folk expression during the mid-2010s, offering a snapshot of the artists recognized by the BBC’s annual awards. While firmly rooted in traditional forms, the collection also gestures toward singer-songwriter sensibilities, balancing reverence for lineage with fresh interpretations. Its 4,304 scrobbles on Last.fm attest to a modest but dedicated listenership engaged in this canon of British folk heritage.
