Our dedicated legal folk download music service and community is at Woven Wheat Whispers
The music heard and available to view below, is drawn from our Woven Wheat Whispers legal folk music download service. It covers everything from traditional to strange folk and is a commercial service offering high quality music from a wide range of artists, established and emerging.
The samples are between one and two minutes so if you don't like what you hear either use the skip button shown or just wait a moment. There are over eighteen hours of music to hear with more being added every couple of weeks.
We are keen to hear from musicians and labels in the folk music and related areas who seek new routes and partners for the distribution or release of their music.
