There was a brief flowering of British and Irish progressive folk in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with groups like the Third Ear Band and Quintessence following the eastern Indian musical and more abstract work by acts such as Forest, Beau, C.O.B.
В конце 1960-х и начале 1970-х произошел короткий расцвет прог-фолка в Великобритании и Ирландии, появились группы Third Ear Band и Quintessence за которыми последовали более абстрактные и с восточным влиянием Comus, Dando Shaft, The Trees, Spirogyra, Forest и Jan Dukes De Grey.
