Mike Connolly’s BBC4 Documentary traces the folk revival in Britain from 1962 onwards. That auspicious year saw the arrival of Bob Dylan in the London Folk Clubs, riding on Woody Guthrie’s popularity. Folk music flourished with the likes of Jon Martyn, Steeleye Span, Bert Jansch and many more, developing alongside the eruption of pop and rock. This 1-hour film covers the territory with intelligence and heart.
