I only just found this and I have not yet figured out how to use it but I ahve seen nothing about it previously on here and it might be handy.

The facebook page seems to be a discussion group page relating to an external website. What appeared to be a link to the site didn't escape from facebook when I clicked it, but copying the actual text from the link gets us HERE.
Quack!

There seems to be a glitch in the Mudcat message posting box. It has for some strange reason added exra bits I did not type, on to the address I DID type in my BLICKY link.
The address was "http://www.folktunefinder.com/".
When I try the Message Posting "preview" box, it is adding line breaks and a "target=top" bit of code not typed by me.
Don't know why it is happening. Maybe a Mudelf can correct the link and remove this posting.
Quack!

The URL for this site is:
Folk Tune Finder

which should work.

Interesting site. I tried out the notes search facility without much success - too many variations on the tunes I input, probably, but the title search worked OK...

Could be a good add-on to TheSession, which doesn't include English tunes.

TheSession includes a lot of English tunes, it just labels them as Irish.

Where does YouTube come into it? folktunefinder looks for ABCs, not YouTube videos. A thematic index for those would be far beyond present-day technology.
