Tim Carroll of Folkwords has interviewed the Folk Police! If you'd like to read more about the thinking behind the label and our plans for the coming year, just click on this link (look for "Interviews" in the contents list on the right hand side of the page). Whilst you're over there, have a poke around - there are some great interviews, loads of reviews, comment, opinion and so on - and Tim has a knowledgeable yet open minded approach to folk music in all its dizzying permutations. You might also stumble upon the cracking review he's given to Elle Osborne's Good Grief e.p. whilst you're rooting around.

So all that remains is for The Folk Police to wish you all a wonderful Yule and hope you have the chance to warm your frozen bodies as you dance your way around a suitably macabre wicker effigy. And a quick but heartfelt thank you to all the Folk Police artists; those singers and musicians and backroom boys 'n' girls who have contributed their time and creativity so generously to the  Oak, Ash & Thorn and Woodbine and Ivy Band albums; to Michael Doward, Gary Parkinson, Raymond Greenoaken, Steven Collins, David Owen and most especially to Sophie Parkes and Pete Philipson for all their help and support in 2010; to those adventurous souls who have already bought a copy of Elle's e.p. and to anyone we've missed out!
