Growing quietly in the shadows of the folk forest, a host of little acorns reach for the light. Deep underground, the roots of old thick ancients, ten score thick with rings, still reach for nourishment. The sturdy People Tree feeds fresh, green shoots and gnarled old bark alike. Debut release from the PEOPLE TREE label showcasing the best of the new folk movement alongside those artists who influenced their sound. Showcases the best of the new British folk movement with tracks from artists CIRCULUS, EIGHTEENTH DAY OF MAY, GRAND UNION and MATT DEIGHTON. Also includes seminal tracks from the roots of folk music - with JOHN MARTYN's stunning cover of PORTISHEAD's "Glory Box", a rare live track from former PENTANGLE man BERT JANSCH, and "Paper Mountain Man" from folkstress LINDA PERHACS.
