I have no connection with these folks, except they play my music ... but Mudcatters may enjoy this site for listening and may wish to distribute their music there.

EZ Folk seems to be well organized, well run and successfully offering folk-style music to the world for free.

Yes - it is a great site, and they are very generous with
the amount of space provided each member. While some
sites, eg. IAC Music only allow 2 - 3 song uploads
gratis, you can load perhaps as many as 30-40 songs,
depending on size.

I took a look. There's lots of good stuff to be found once you get the hang of it. I'll take more time to explore when I can. Thank you.

www.folkalley.com is the BEST folk music related web site, hands down

The site has changed a lot since i last visited there looking for banjo tab.
I'm not sure what has altered, so will have to look properly when (if ever) I get time...
It used to have some useful stuff.
Quack!

www.folkalley.com looks like an interesting site, but they do not appear to host artists in the same way that EZ-Folk does (eg. sponsoring artist songs). They seem to provide some access for artists via something called 'open mic'.

Well, I had a rummage on EZ folk. Some of it is dreadful. A couple of creditable things. And is my memory playing tricks or did we not decide that "She moved through the fair" was contemporary? It's credited as "trad" over there.

Nothing on FolkAlley plays for me. Do I need some bloatware like RealPlayer to use teh site?
