Canterbury Fair, an Australian group which specialised in British Isles folksongs, is another line-up of great singers including Danny Spooner. In reality, it is effectively a follow-up LP to Danny Spooner and Friends. This one is even better relying more on vocal technique and harmony to produce beautiful songs mostly in a capella style. They do use some very subdued musical backing occasionally.
