Subject: RE: Need to be heard?
Just as a footnote to what my partner has just said

We are trying to take a wide defination of what folk "is". People have argued for years over this - See Dylan "judas" incident! Rather than try to argue what is or isnt suitable.music in the styles of the following artists would all fit easily into our service.

Copper Family
Incredible String Band
Martin Carthy
Woody Guthrie
Bellowhead
John Fahey
Afro Celt Sound System
Six Organs of Admittance
Dock Boggs
Nick Drake
Alan Stivell
The Pogues
Michael Chapman
Fairport Convention
Sid Kipper

All the above are folk music, and possibly all have been accused at some point of not being!
The service is suitable for anyone working in an (even remotely) similar field.

The aim as I said in earlier posts, is not only to make music available by better known artists, but equally for "new" artists who want to access a wider audience. Mark and I will endevour in every way to promote your music be it something that was previously released and now deleted, a new experimental project or simply a finished demo that you would like to get some feedback for.

Keep the questions and thoughts coming in. Your feedback is important.
Mark and I will keep you updated on the service as things progress towards the launch

Cheers
