Good news in these troubled times: The Hull History Centre has agreed to be the host of this archive. We already have the records of Folk Union One, Green Ginger Morris, a collection of posters and photos, almost a full set of Folk News and the promise of 3 collections of recordings made over the years at Folk Union One (Bluebell) one of them already digitised. I hope to include information from all past Hull folk organisations/events including clubs, dance, sessions etc., and as Hull heavily influenced activities in Beverley, Cottingham and Goole we will eventually include these.

We will be holding a reunion meeting some time in the spring in Hull to reminisce, identify recordings and photos. I will be pleased to receive any relevant material over the next 6 months, but please if you send anything can you mark it clearly with who, where, when, if known? Scanned documents will be acceptable. My contact details are on the home page at www.yorkshirefolksong.net.

Also needed are typed memories of folk activities in Hull. Dates are quite important as at the moment we hope to sort the material chronologically. Memories of non performers are just as valid as those from active participants.
