Subject: Folk Alliance Annual Conference, Memphis From: open mike Date: 09 Feb 10 - 02:09 PM The International Folk Music and Dance Alliance is holding its 22nd Conference in Memphis, TN on February 17-21, 2010. This organization brings together a wonderful combination of performers, presenters and lovers of music and dance. I attended and volunteered at the Western Regional gathering several years ago, and was astonished and the volume and variety of music there. The event revolves around showcases where people perform and the participants convert their hotel rooms into venues and the shows go on for days!! There are shows, workshops, panel discussions, record labels, broadcasters, venues, and experts of all sorts all coming together for a wonderful networking event. I see there are some musicians from Wales attending this year. I would recommend the Folk Alliance -- it is a great group. The year I went, prizes were awarded to those who have contributed to folk music and Rosalie Sorrells was one of the recipients. Roz and Howard Larman from the syndicated radio show Folk Scene have also received an award. |
