 The Critics Group

The Critics Group, also known as The London Critics Group, was a group of people who met to explore 'how best to apply the techniques of folk-music and drama to the folk revival' under the direction of Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, with some participation from Bert Lloyd and Charles Parker.Running for eight years from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s, it was not a conventional musical group or band as it had no permanent line-up.
