Thread Name: CD to Preserve Essex Dialect
Subject: RE: CD to Preserve Essex Dialect
To all accent and dialect enthusiasts and please excuse the slight thread-drift but it is great to see others trying to record and revive traditional dialects.
The Lancashire Society is hosting a dialect day at Fylde Folk Festival this year. It is taking place from midday on Sunday 6th September and Dialect Societies from all over the country are coming to perform - it would be great to include Essex too.
Virginia Tam, do you think they may be interested in sending some CDs to sell at the event?
Mark Dowding has already publicised this in a thread called 'Dialect readers wanted for Fylde' so pm him or me for more info.
