All suggestions and reflections are welcome!


I'll start with Polish Celtic folk band called Beltaine. Beltaine has quite modern approach to tradition and tends to enrich their music with world music, Slavic, rock and pop elements. Their debut album (Rockhill) is almost purely traditional though. They're well-known for incredible energy and pace of their performances (watch the second video and you'll understand why).

Most of the European folk I listen to is from England; not sure that's what you want to discuss LOL

one of my favourites
 
 
also some other GG songs that cover your surching spirit for European folk
you can even dance a jig to it, more tavern than that is hard to do
 
 
you would also like to hear Roger Hodgson in a tavern

I quite like folk music from all over the world.

I have a CD by a German medieval folk act called Tabula Rasa, which I bought from the the band, once after they had performed in my hometown at the time. Their main instrumentation is pipes, flutes, percussion and other European medieval instruments but accompanied by a cello. They're pretty cool. The album is eponymous and was released on 2000. They've also released an album called "Puer Nobis Nascitur: Weinachtslieder aus dem 12.-17. Jh", but the band themselves actually advised me not to buy it for some reason. Anyway, I have no idea what they're up to now or they're even active, but that eponymous album from 2000 is recommended.

I'm much more of a traditional folk fan than a fan of modern folk music. My favourites are Balkan and Caucasian music, especially that of my home country, Romania, and that of our neighbours Hungary. I don't mind Celtic but I never seemed to like it enough to dig it a bit, plus I find all that contemporary commercial "Celtic" folk hideous.

Speaking of folk, I should proudly mention that my brother is one of the few bodhr�nists in Denmark. He's even appeared on a couple of recordings.

Just stuff like Fairport Convention, The Pentangle, Comus, Roy Harper.  70's British prog folk.

whats that, elaborate Tongue,
 
also I found out today, music with harp is the most beautifull ever, so if any folk bands have harp, obo, cello, flutes and some piano Shocked , I am interested, also some primitive drums in the context, timpanis, tam tams. or big bass drums.
 
sadly i did not find Recounter Troubadour which is fantastic
 
also Harmonium here is some fantastic scandinavian folk for you

He plays the bodhr�n. He's also an accomplished prog metal drummer.

Thanks. For commercial pop-folk, I'll have to admit that was very good. But I'd be more interested in Scandinavian traditional folk, do you have some?

 this is what I beleeve to be a trad dance, played with a Harding fiddle an 8 string fiddle where the strings are pared on four so it looks like a four string but beneath that lies four other strings, I don't know how it is tunes though but deeper, i think

this is my best at blindly pick som folk and traditional tunes I have heard one of them or probably more, but I know the feelings they woke inside me

It's more a psych/neo-folk rock than traditional folk but I just have to post it here. Ladies and gentlemen, here's Hexvessel and their debut album. For me, this is fantastic stuff.

I'm really into a band called Nest.  A very interesting band that uses acoustic folk and dark ambient in their music.  They're from Finland and they use a 15 string Finnish instrument called a kantele in their music.

Better suited for cold weather, but I it doesn't change the conclusion that they are pretty awesome.

Not exactly folk, but often tagged "indie folk". I think their latest album is excellent:
