As icicles melt under industrious skies – a take on Jim Ghedi’s new album

When I was a little kid, the term “folk music” conjured overcast skies, foggy perennial forests, and the crackling of burning logs in a low lit tavern in the dales. A healthy dose of BBC programs (through a not very legal parabolic dish) and PBS documentaries cemented those beliefs. Possibly Clannad‘s soundtrack for Robin of Sherwood is to blame.
