There was a lot of Celtic/psychedelic music coming out of the UK then, and through the 1980's, when it was rebranded as "New Age Celtic". The best material from that period, from groups like Pentangle, was light-years ahead of Mark Fry, from what I've listened to, which is just the "Dreaming with Alice" album that you're listening to. It's a totally different thread from the US folk/rock/psychedelic movement at about the same time. But Pentangle had Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, who were (are, in the case of Renbourn) staggeringly talented. When it comes to pure acoustic guitar talent, you have to look at someone like Jorma over here to find anyone comparable. I'm not sure Mark Fry rises to that level.
