I should also mention that there are at least two lists for those involved in the folk music business, such as artists, managers, agents, venues, etc.I haven't subscribed (I got the information for a friend who is in that line of work) but the information I got from a perons on the lists was
send a message to
listserv@psuvm.psu.edu
with the notation in the BODY of the MESSAGE:
Subscribe Folkbiz
or
Subscribe FOLKVENU
depending which of the two you want. (If you want both, I assume that you'd have to do two separate messages.) I am informed that there is a list specific to Canada, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were ones specific to the UK and to the "Down Unders" as well.
