FTJ --- Folklife Traditions Journal homepage.
"Folklife Traditions" was noted in the Traditional Song Forum's Newsletter, 16/3/2021: for more on TSF, see https://tradsong.org
"As its name suggests Folklife West magazine is mainly focused on the South-Western Quarter of the country, but it contains regular articles about traditional song in the section called Folklife Traditions which is not geographically restricted. There are some real gems here. Roy Palmer used to be a regular contributor and several TSF members, present and past, have submitted articles for publication. You can find the archive of past issues at https://www.folklife-traditions.uk/ - select issues from the indexes. And if you would like to submit articles to Folklife Traditions they would be very welcome. Contact Sam Simmons at sam@folklife.uk"
Volunteers wanted. Currently, this is all compiled by (and subsidised by) Sam.
I'd welcome admin help to develop it - anything from helping to index (see Index: ARTICLES webpage) to co-editing.
Volunteers are offered a year's free Folklife membership. Please contact sam@folklife.uk
