I had never heard of the Folk Rock band Folkal Point and never heard the beautiful voice of Cherie Musialik until very recently and have not stopped playing them since. Have also looked in a lot of places to try to get some information on her and the band but seems to be an enigma. She did a beautiful studio recording of the folk song Lovely Joan which came from their album Folk Heritage or similar name to this. Being quite the patriot, I love English Folk music and I also think that when it is mixed with modern electric guitars, bass and such likes that it makes a fantastic combination, with the likes of Maddy Prior and Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, The Albion Band with the great Shirley Collins.This is all great stuff which I missed years ago, growing up and getting to know Prog Rock and all that, and it's been just the last few years when I heard The Murder Of Maria Marten that I got hooked. There are just so many timeless songs and ballads from history and so interesting words it's opened me up to this style of music. I am still looking into this very young artist back then, who will be aged now, alas. I often think that folk like this, such as Cherie Musialik should be immune from getting old so we could listen to them and see them as they should look.
