Deni,

The charter for the group is at:

and the FAQ at:

If you mean uk.music.folk it's a newsgroup and depending on your software/ISP you may have to set newsgroups up specially (usually there's some facility to get a list of supported newsgroups and then select the ones you want to subscribe to). You may also be able to access it via the URL news://uk.music.folk.

Failing that you can always look things up at Google's Deja News, selecting uk.music.folk in the newsgroup box.

Cheers all. I used to be able to access the site on my old computer, but now I can only get the charter page and there's nowhere to go from there.

I'll try the above tactics. Thanks for info.

There's http://www.musikfolk.co.uk/ as well - mail order company that specialises in folk/roots music. Worth checking out even if it wasn't the one you had in mind!

If you want the directory of the EFDSS (English Folk Dance & Song Society), which lists folk festivals, folk artists and folk events in the UK you might find the link below useful
