Are you talking of DW or the more generic similar artists/discover tab then? Because the former is far better than the latter.

Funnily enough, it has recommended a lot of British Isles trad/folk to me, (and also Québécois, for some reason) most of which is OK but some of which is really interesting. It's found several long medieval ballads, which I would have thought was far too niche to recommend.

DW is most fruitful. If you are into British Isles trad/folk, there's a lot of wonderful Québécois stuff. Those guys often have better Irish trad chops than local Irish trad prodigies. Then on top of that, add in all the odd Acadian/french influence. I got to play with some of those guys in Christmas Revels.
