The Folk Directory (www.FolkDirectory.co.uk) has recently relaunched.
The Folk Directory is a user–maintained database of all the regular folk music events in the UK. The Folk Directory is FREE – it does not charge you for adding your event to the database (and never will), and encourages you to add as many events as you like. You don’t even have to sign up or make an account. You can edit or delete an event listing at any time by finding it in the directory and clicking the edit link in the listing toolbox.
The Folk Directory does not intend to, and never could, replace all those great local resources and web pages. In time we will be integrating links to more local and regularly updated web pages into the search function. If you know of a local folk listing website or you run one, let them know and they can link to you.
The site is meant to be simple and easy to use. If it is not, or you have some comments, feedback or ideas, please contact them.
Sat 7TH January 2012 Wassail in Much Marcle – Starts 7pm at Weston’s Cider, Much Marcle HR8 2NQ, with a bit of dancing, torchlight procession to Apple Orchard for Wassail, then to the Slip Tavern Inn (food available for purchase) just down the road for a bit more dancing and an unforgettable performance of The Cradley Mummers, followed by a bloody good session – so, again, please bring along any instruments and voices. All monies collected will be forwarded to St Michael’s Hospice - last year we raised £421 for them. That will give you a an idea how popular an event the Wassail is becoming!. Parking can be a bit of a problem – advise arriving before 7pm or be prepared for a long of a walk !
