Thistletown (band)
' are a psychedelic-folk band from Falmouth, Cornwall.

They came to public attention through a Guardian Newspaper column by Will Hodgkinson concerning his year long project to start a record label. The band lived together on a boat, and formed due to a collective love of obscure 1970's folk bands such as 'Heron' and 'Trees'. They recorded an album in the garden of a Cornish cottage with Circulus main man, Michael Tyack, and Benet Walsh producing. The album was well recieved by the press, recieving 4 stars from the Times, along with 'Mojo' magazine, 'Record Collector' and others.

The band played at Green Man festival in 2007, and Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank afterward declared them the "Kings and Queens of the Green Man", announcing, "They're so folky it hurts".

The group disbanded in 2008.
