BEEN looking for something to feed your Fairport fetish or Steeleye supper? Step forward mainstream folk-rockers Little Johnny England, five stellar session men who specialise in accessible pop grown from traditional roots.
Songs such as Lily Of Barbary and Ginger Billy are a gourmet take on folk club fayre, while a madcap medley of Jack’s Polka, Alexa’s Hornpipe and A Reel For Kelly showcase instrumental derring-do. But Cutthroats, Crooks And Conmen is a contemporary rant about the selling off of 21st century Britain.
