... another folk music web site erupts from the web - Folk Music in the UK

Posted on 4:37pm Monday 4th Jul 2011

Another folk music web site erupts from the musical miasma on the web. Hurrah! Folk Music in the UK publicise and promote a range of folk music from the United Kingdom. Their website, launched in June 2011, is steadily gaining readers and they are still adding features, should be good. Throughout the site there are pages for folk music artists from around Britain in addition to loads of links to folk events, sites and traders - in fact anything connected to the folk music scene.

Thanks - Alan
