Music of The United Kingdom (2000s) - Nu-folk

Nu-folk

In the 2000s bands and artists appeared who functioned as cross-over acts between the indie rock and folk scenes. Their music often utilised traditional instruments, sometimes beside electronic music. London's nu-folk scene included artists like Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale, Mumford & Sons and Johnny Flynn and that in Scotland, centred on Glasgow and with a more Celtic tinge, included artists such as Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers and Pearl and the Puppets.
