If you like folk and the hurdy gurdy you should listen to some Blackmore's Night. That's Richie Blackmore from Deep Purple who has teamed up with a singer/lyricist called Candice Night to do sort of medieval folk rock. Very difficult to describe, but great music. They use all kinds of weird instruments you've never heard of (the shawm, anyone?) And you ain't seen nothing till you've seen Richie play the hurdy gurdy live.
They've made about 5 albums but I won't tell you what my favourite is, because I can't decide, they're all great.
