Links to traditional music resources on the net.

Islington Folk Club has probably the biggest listing of folk resources in and around London, which we can't hope to challenge.

EFDSS - English Folk Dance and Song Society - based in Cecil Sharp House, Camden. Home of the Vaughn Williams Memorial Library which has many ascinating resources from early music collectors as well as regular music and dance teaching and is a venue for lively dances in the evenings. Real ale bar.

This is a new link FolkRadio.co.uk It has a lively forum and constantly streaming folk music jukebox (only on if you turn it on) and regular updates on folk festival nes and suchlike. Definitely recommended.

Root Source - Folk Directory 100's of dance groups, clubs, sessions and bands listed - although it now looks more like a link directory - the links to folk sites do work, someone obviously chose the template before all those spammy sites hijacked the style !

If you've time to scroll through it all, www.folkandroots.co.uk maintain an up-to-date and fairly comprehensive events listing.

Hobgoblin Music - Local folk news + links. Musical instrument sales.

Folk Roots Magazine - if we haven't already included the link.

Trevor Gilson's site for the Focsle folk club in Southampton. SCoFF connections, many useful sites + listings for folk music in Southern England etc.

Local Life - listing of local events nationwide

Travel Britain - info. about places to stay, eat drink and be entertained (plus much more) in the UK.

British Arts a Directory of the Arts in the UK

TRADITION magazine. We've not seen the magazine itself, but their site has some interesting links and you can buy copies online. They do have some dates of events listed in their diary.

The Two-in-a-bar campaign has moved on since we were involved, but this link to information up to 2002 is still there at the Southern Counties Folk Federation site (SCoFF)

This final link is not very much about traditional music, but it is about independent music and ways of circulating it without going through the big music labels. If you want to download music without ripping off the artists, or want your music online, visit www.prankstersproductions.com (not working)
