LIVE LOCAL FOLK: we publicise news from our Folklife Members: ~ singarounds, sessions, clubs, concerts, gigs, albums, festivals, workshops.
Following Zoom, enthusiasts from beyond England and Wales joined us. We have readers for our "Updates" emails from across the world - and a few Members sending news from Scotland, Ireland, and internationally, as below.   We welcome enthusiasts from everywhere!

🄵🅆 Alba / Scotland

We’d love to cover Scotland properly, but we have limited time & resources.
So, we’d welcome volunteers: correspondents for an area, (350-600 words), or an all-Scotland correspondent, as Mick Tems for Wales on page 2 or 3 (up to 900 words).
