~ Traditional Song Forum

Founded 1998: ‘A national organisation based in the UK that brings together those interested in the research, collecting and performance of traditional song ... Our aim is to be inclusive of all the traditions found in Britain, Ireland and the English speaking world, although the majority of forum members are interested in the songs originating in these islands ... Although forum members are serious about their interests, the style of the organisation is informal and we are determined not to get stuffy or bureaucratic ... TSF members meet two or three times a year to share progress on their work and to seek advice of other forum members.’
