Hi all,

I'm Alan Morley from UK Folk Music website
http://www.ukfolkmusic.co.uk

We are a website dedicated to promoting anything and everything connected to the UK Folk Scene. The site was only launched on the web mid June 2011 but to date 10/08/11 we hace received over 1,300 visits by individuals.

UK Folk Music covers a huge range of subjects, singers, musicians, bands, instrument makers, folk clubs, concert venues, festivals, traditional dance, barn dance/ ceilidh, craft suppliers, instrument repairs - phew.....!! :)

The reason we are posting this is, we have received an email from Kelly Alcock of UK Folk Club Network who tells us that she has posted a link to us on their Facebook page - fantastic.

It seems that we have another case of 'joined up thinking' and it's really great to have these connections being made for the good of our music.

We hadn't know of Alan Day's project and Facebook Page, but we'll be intouch with him soon.

If anyone would like to vist UK Folk Music to see what we are all about you're very welcome.

Part of our set up is a Forum with a chat room, a daily 'newspaper, a blog which keeps people up to date with what we are developing, and an on-line shop for Folk Music T-Shirts etc.

Because the UK Folk Music site is still developing and expanding we welcome - suggestions, advice and contributions regarding content and direction. We also accept inquiries for advertising space, and offer areas for artists advertising, venues etc...

Because we receive so many visits, a page on UK Folk Music will be seen many more times than and artists own page under their own domain name. We are tweaking the UK Folk Music/artists pages at the moment so they are easily located by search engines.

Phew....sorry to go on so much - I get carried away :)

thanks all


Alan Morley
