Subject: RE: Lost Folk Tapes PermaThread - An Invitation From: Andy Jackson Date: 07 Feb 11 - 08:17 AM What a great project. At last someone is doing what many of us keep wanting to get around to! Contacting those I have recorded over the years will be the problem of course so if you ever got recorded by Andy in Southampton please P.M. me. Ta. |

Subject: RE: Lost Folk Tapes PermaThread - Update From: Spleen Cringe Date: 07 Feb 11 - 04:19 AM Hello All, We now have eight separate articles/interviews on the go, the first of which will be posted shortly along with a selection of sound files. We continue to get enquiries from musicians and singers who were active in the period we're covering every day. Keep 'em coming! We've also had a couple of interesting emails from people who made recordings at folk clubs and other events... I'm now appealing for the amateur photographers out there to get in touch. If you were in the habit of taking photos at your local folk club or at festivals or other folk-related events, it would be great if you got in touch - it would be good to post some of your images on the site to illustrate the articles - or maybe even to do a feature on your photos. If you're interested you could PM me here or contact me via the website contact page. Cheers, Spleen/Nigel |

Subject: RE: Lost Folk Tapes PermaThread - An Invitation From: Spleen Cringe Date: 01 Feb 11 - 03:52 PM We now have a Facebook page. And 575 people have visited the website so far today... WOW! Thanks. Hopefully, fingers crossed, we should have some stuff up at the site very soon... we've had some interesting emails so far. Best, Spleen |

Subject: RE: Lost Folk Tapes - An Invitation From: Spleen Cringe Date: 30 Jan 11 - 03:41 PM Thanks, Sean - will email you. What I forgot to add was two more things. Firstly, feel free to PM me here at Mudcat for more info about the site or with any questions. And secondly, if you've already reissued your lost folk recordings (whether its a proper remastered CD or a home produced CDr or anything in between) and want us to put a track or two up to listen to at the site along links to your website or info about how people can buy a copy, we're more than happy to do that too! Cheers, Spleen (hopefully checking his inbox!) |

Subject: Lost Folk Tapes From: Spleen Cringe Date: 29 Jan 11 - 06:51 PM This may be a long shot but... inspired by Janie's thread about great bands you wouldn't have heard, I decided to set up this website: Lost Folk Tapes As you'll notice if you visit, there are no lost folk tapes on there yet...which is where hopefully some of you Mudcatters might step in! I've reproduced the message to musicians page below. I'd be really grateful if you can hav a read of it, and if it appplies to you, think about getting involved. If it doesn't, but you know people who might be interested, please pass the word on. And if you can generally let people know about it, either via other forums you're part of or Facebook or email lists/groups or whatever, that would be fab. On more thing to add - this is completely non-commercial, not-for-profit and so on and it's not yet another bootleg site etc... its simply about giving people a chance to hear forgotten music... and hopefully it will be a lot of fun. Here goes... A MESSAGE TO MUSICIANS e know that there are hundreds, probably thousands, of people out there who sung in folk clubs, played in coffee houses, performed at demonstrations, whooped it up at band dances, entertained in bars, busked in parks and generally made all sorts of folk music in all sorts of circumstances. And we know many of you made recordings of what you did - to sell at gigs, to give away to friends and family, to raise funds for a cause or maybe just because you have the opportunity and wanted to do it. You didn't necessarily make the big time, you may have only played in your local area. Equally you may have trawled across the country week after week, chasing all the bookings you could get. You may be completely unknown, you may be a name plenty of people will remember. You may be from the USA, The UK, Australia or anywhere else in the world. You may have hung up your hat forty years ago, you may still be playing regularly. You may have been a traditional musician, an acoustic singer songwriter, the bass player in a folk-rock band, a psychedelic troubadour, a protest singer or all or none of these. Whether you made a self-released cassette to sell at the end of your gigs, or a long defunct local record label released an album with you, or you went into a studio to make a demo or you captured a halfway decent recording of a live performance, you are the people this website is about... and we want to hear from you! We'd like you to send us your music. Ideally, we'd like it digitally (and we don't care about the format - MP3, WAV, AIFF or anything else you prefer to use) but we're also happy to accept stuff burned onto CDs, cassette tapes or even vinyl by post. We also want your stories and memories... and the odd photo would be even better. We'll only do with it want you want us to: we can put it on the site as sound files for visitors to listen to or we can make it available for people as a free download, if that's what you'd like. Simply get in touch with us using the form on the contact page... we're looking forward to hearing from you. The only proviso is that we can only accept stuff you have some sort of ownership of... if the rights to your recordings belong to EMI or Warners or someone, we can't post them on the site, because, um, we don't want to get sued or closed down. So please get rummaging through the boxes in you attic and get in touch with us - you're the only reason we created this site. And thank you. Once more: Lost Folk Tapes ************************************************** Thanks for any interest, comments, support... or promises of great, lost music! Best, Spleen
