Why a top 36? Because listeners at the Online Folk Festival only rated 36 songs in the last month. Local Celtic band Knot Fibb’n comes in with the top slot – another #1 rating for a Central Ohio team. Recent releases are highlighted in red – it’s been a slow month for new releases at the top of the charts – most of these tunes are from albums which have been out awhile.
