Help identifying an artist

Hi, a few years ago I found a UK based folk band on Spotify and now I can’t for the life of me remember what they were called. I remember they had a song where a section included the words from the nursery rhyme ‘ring a ring o roses’, and I’m pretty sure they had a song about dancing on someone’s bones.

Sorry I know I’m not giving much to go off but does anyone know what band this might be?

Some Slavic folk music I found

Mostly acoustic. Most may be Polish.

Dziwoludy is one
https://www.youtube.com/@Dziwoludy
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhcdMuV4wVrwHt6jkUSpdrIR5gGfe8zon

Zniwa is a couple:  violinist/flutist and a guitar lute (aka bastard lute) player. WONDERFUL!

They often group with others.

Here they play the standard Herr Mannelig

Percival Schuttenbach The band changes some members sometimes?

The guy playing the Baglama or Saz seems to be having fun.

A Song of Autumn (En Høstvise)

Hi! Me and my girlfriend wrote this traditional norwegian folk song about the season of autumn. Hopefully the feeling of autumn is conveyed across language barriers. Would love if you gave it a try :D

I've uploaded my song "Daily Burdens"

Hello everyone, I have been playing folk music for over 13 years, and I've been struggling with the concept of creating "good music": what is actually good enough? What is bad, what is mediocre? Today I was working on a different song, decided I didn't like it, and I have uploaded this instead. I would have done it through band camp, but they don't let you upload mp3's:

https://soundcloud.com/calvinsmith-26337072/daily-burdens

Ironically, I am in the same mood today as I was when I wrote the song. Say whatever you please, honest feedback is always appreciated.
