About:
As our magazine's name, "Folklife West" suggests, mainly Cymru•Wales, England West Country, West Midlands, plus Oxon (under South-East).
- Most entries are from paying Folklife Members, and most are in the main areas - but entries are free to all.
- Enthusiasts from other areas, and other countries, have joined us, many during lockdown & zoom sessions
- Listings from other areas are not comprehensive, but we're always keen to hear from enthusiasts, eg clubs that welcome visitors to the area
- We welcome enthusiasts from everywhere!
- So, please tell folks to visit www.folklife.uk/directory or contact sam@folklife.uk, and we'll be happy to help.
- We welcome volunteers to check our entries are up to date, and to research new ones.
