English folk recommendations please. Ades piano quintet recommended

Does anyone know if there are any English folk music CDs that sound like Van Morisson and the Chieftans on Irish heartbeat? [I mean the traditional songs not the VM ones]

The Ades is very good, but not like Folk music though

best wishes

Well, the Penguin Eggs came before Christmas. But, with moving house, and the Bach Christmas to listen to, it's taken a long time to reply. I enjoyed it, especially Canidio [sp?]. A good addition to my collection. Wife complained though, 'Drab' she said. She [and me] likes Seth Lakeman though
thanks again
