Folk Fest Finale

Sunday night's closing concert at the Phildelphia Folk Festival has distinctly British flavor. And I'm not just talking about the dank and drizzly weather: Conssistently brilliant guitarist and songwriter Richard Thompson (pictured) is the headliner, and his former Fairport Convention bandmate Iain Matthews is also on the bill. Edinbugh ensemble Malinky amplify the theme with a touch of tradtional Scottish folk. Other noteworthies include formerly Philadelphia songstress Susan Werner (who's now based in Chicago), Dylany troubadour Joe Pug and New Orleans swamp rockers the Subdudes. Here's "Haul Me Up," a cut from Thompson's new album, Dream Attic, due August 31.
