Also this year, the "Single Gloucester" project will be putting a lot of material on line, including, again, songs collected from Gloucestershire gypsies. Watch out for announcements in the folk media.

These things never seem to happen in isolation. I am on the steering committee for something new and similar in my locality; Sussex Traditions have not finalised the format of their website yet but I will be noting it on Mudcat when it has, Steve Roud and Shirley Collins are amongst the trustees. The first project, led by Laura Hockenhull, will be to digitise and transcribe the fairly large Tony Wales collection to make it available on-line.

At a recent meeting with Pete Heywood, he was picking my brains over his plans for something similar for Ayrshire/South-East Scotland.
