Singers by County

Adelphiuk:

Classifying singers by County is probably as good an approach as any. That's often how the collectors did it.

But some of the Counties have changed! Let's include them anyway, for a while at least!

Which singers should go in this category? That's open to discussion. Hit the discussion tab above, read what others say and express your own opinion.

Adelphiuk:

Johnny Adams was appointed to the EFDSS National Council in 2000 and has worked over the last 6 to 7 years developing the Society's web operations, mostly with enormous effort from a range of volunteers.

Two major developments have been the online Folk Shop (installed by Fiona Fahlin of Redpebble Web Solutions) and the online catalogue for the Vaughan Williams Memorial Library, a mammoth undertaking by Malcolm Taylor and the Library team in cooperation with Dr Richard Butterworth.

Another major project which JA couldn't fit in to his own schedule was the steady development of a site to support the Folk Music Journal and major thanks go to Malcolm Douglas for getting this site in place and developing and maintaining it.

Folkopedia is the next major development along with an education site.

Some further info on Johnny Adams is to be found at his [http://www.john-adams.info web site]

In the early stages it may not be immediately obvious where to place your contributions.

Probably the easiest solution is to make a link from [[Temporary Store]] to the page you create and then we can organise the actual route to it afterwards.

===Images===

To upload images, go to upload file in the toolbox section (bottom left sidebar on this page).

Upload your file from that page, remembering the file name.

Link to that file later when you are editing the page on which you want to use the file.

Music

2007-03-08T09:26:22Z

Adelphiuk:

Music is an integral part of singing and dancing and often an accompaniment to other activities like processions and ceremonials.

Folk tunes are very often divorced from their original setting and played just for the joy of it.

Here we can pool information about where the tunes came from, who publish them and when, what they were used for, how they travelled and where they are to be found now.
