I am sorry to report that this week has seen the final demise of all that was once Forest Tracks Records and the linked web pages - Hampshire Voices, etc.. Following the unexpected death of Founder Paul Marsh in 2018, the label continued to operate at a reduced rate, but all of Paul's related and useful web pages remained available on the Internet. Sadly that has now ceased, as the remaining member of the board has decided he can no longer cope with all that was needed to maintain both the running of the record label but also it's webpages, that were also due for renewal and re-rental. It is an end of an era for a project that started so long ago and has produced some very worthwhile local recordings and information about folk music and song in the South of England. A very sad outcome. Tim Radford
