GUEST,Jon The current state of folk music in UK (2105* d) RE: The current state of folk music in UK 20 Oct 19


Well pfr, Mudcat did have a spell of live Internet music, starting with Hearme and moving on to PalTalk   but I think it fizzled out. At one point, as well as taking it in turn sessions, there were a couple who would do “concerts” that way. Time zones are a bit of a problem with that sort of thing but there were for example someone from UK and another from NZ sometimes getting online at the same time.

I’m not sure what to think about online sessions. Even if the speed and absence of lag were there, I might still have doubts. Thinking now, to me, at least in a good session, there are other interactions such as the way one can get caught up in the overall atmosphere, sound and visual clues that might not translate too well over distance.
