Northern English Trad-FolkJohnny Campbell emerged onto the UK folk scene writing self-penned material and delving deep into Northern English folk song and story.
''A Modern-Day Billy Bragg'' - Tradfolk
The album From Hull & Halifax & Hell (2020) took him to The Faroe Islands where he recorded a live album on the island of Nolsoy. Since musical instruments hadn't arrived on the islands until the 19th century, this is perhaps the first time Northern English traditional song has been recorded on these islands.
