The following infoboxen may be useful:

• Template:Infobox Musical artist (for individual musicians and bands)

• Ensure that the article is tagged and assessed (see tagging and assessment, above)
• In many cases, the termfolk rock can be changed toBritish folk rock (as a more precise definition). This is by no means universal, so intelligence must be applied.
• Add some more headings

• Most British folk rock songs are folk songs played in this style, and thus no special suggestions could be applicable
