Perkelt

Was listening to my wonderful Perkelt CD today - Dowry of a Troll Woman.
Love this folk group that i happened to hear playing in Cornmarket Street in Oxford where i picked up their CD in 2013 They are from Czech Republic, I think...The female singer has an amazing raw, powerful voice which carries you to other times/places.
I like having this music playing in my shop or in my workshop. It conjures up outdoor festivals, gypsies, fire-eaters and good festival food and ale..
