heloo, i have just started a site for local people, this is for people to tell each other about their gigs, sessions etc, and to tell people about festivals in the area, and people can advertise their CD's and sell instruments etc, any local people can join, you can use your real name or make a funny name up, its up to you, you can post just about anything you like, but anyone making trubble, arguing etc will get banned, so just watch it. the site is called Folkin Hull.
Have a look, their is a message board, a chat thing and a calendar, and things like that, Folkin Hull
