If you like what we are doing at TATT, then here are some websites that you might find interesting / useful: Pete Burnham's extremely useful Leicester Folk Diary - covers anywhere within travelling distance of Leicester that lets Pete have their details (e.g. Derby, Burton, Coventry, Nottingham ...) http://lfd.org.uk/lfd.html Musical Traditions: Rod Stradling's on-line magazine; news, reviews, arguments (sorry, debates), links - invaluable for knowing what's going on in the UK folk scene: www.mustrad.org.uk Radio Britfolk: use it, listen to it, support it, join it: http://193.128.49.56/britfolk/HomePage.aspx Martin Nail's guide to English Folk on the Internet - a good link to everywhere and anywhere: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/martin.nail/Folkmus.htm The English Folk Dance and Song Society; support it, join it - if you don't think it's relevant to what you're doing then why are you reading this? Join up and help to keep it relevant! www.efdss.org/index.htm Derby Heritage Club; meets in Derby Gaol (And all the men of Derby came begging for his tail / To ring St. George's passing bell from the top of Derby Gaol - how much more traditional can you get?) www.dhtmc.co.uk Grand Union Folk Club; great singers' / musicians session club in the Soar Bridge Inn, Barrow on Soar, with (very) occasional guests: www.guf.org.uk Michael Wright's site is a great resource for anyone interested in the Jew's (or jaw's) Harp. www.jewsharper.info Michael was asking the other day whether any one could suggest a suitable collective noun for these instruments (as in the five in different keys that he has welded, mouthorgan style, onto a single bar). A synagogue, perhaps? Anyone planning to visit Dublin really ought to check out what's happening at the Goilin Singers' Club: www.goilin.com
