This week our colleague Esbjorn Wettermark visited Norwich and New Area Studies Research Centre UEA for a short presentation with our board member HazelMarsh18, followed by a viewing of a documentary about Irish Traveller singer Thomas McCarthy. See if it you can! youtube.com/watch?v=kvZFTu…

We will be at North Atlantic Song Convention, have a look at the programme, loads of great stuff and (of course) singing.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing findings from our Consulting Groups report, starting with changes that are relatively easy to implement for organisers of folk events. #folk music #folk scene #folk singing #englishfolk #folk song #folk #folk singer #folk club #accessfolk

Our colleague Esbjorn Wettermark has just come back from a visit to one of our partners in our new side-project looking at different strategies to increase participation in folk arts! Where do you think he has been?

Our Fay Hield is listening in to the Trad Talk Trad Music Forum day about access and participation in the Scottish folk scene. Great energy and really honest picking at the issues. Steve Byrne was unflinching and an inspiration. Hoping to continue the conversation.

We've arrived English Folk Expo find us and have a chat about the project. We're not as scary as we look...

Yesterday Esbjorn Wettermark popped up to Edinburgh to meet with Wendy Timmons (PhD) and Iliyana Nedkova at Trad Dance Forum. Lovely meeting talking about their strategic work to showcase Scotland's diversity of traditional dance. Part of our new international collaboration, more to come!

There will be a free, one-day, in-person conference, organised by the Traditional Song Forum and Contemporary Folklore Research Centre, held on Saturday 30 September at the University of Sheffield. Free tickets: eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-study-of…
