The site is a meeting of people who like various forms of folk music -there have been several debates about trying to describe what "folk" means. We talk about lots of other subjects though.
I am interested in busking, having done it for over twenty-five years. Here is a good place to discuss it and hear from the old hands like Reggie Miles, InObu and Marion. There's much more though. Stick around.
