​FD: home  Folklife's free online Folk Directory  folklife-directory.uk

From Folklife  who also publish 2 print magazines, which are copied online, Folklife West, and the Folklife Traditions Journal.

• Simple listings with basic details, plus a brief (up to 40-words) description. No pictures, no dates.
• Websites rather than social media - no sign-up required to read our pages !   so they can be read by all, rather than being restricted.​​

​​​
​Our "Weebly" webhosts have not updated for years, may close 2025 - so we'll move to a more modern host  - will look a lot better

• ​Ideally —- as a database, we would welcome a volunteer to set one up. Failing that, it will be similar to existing.

26 Nov 2024:  we will move website hosts from Weebly to WebMate in 2025
Weebly  (1) stopped updating some years ago, and (2) have announced "we will maintain support through at least July 2025". 
Obviously, we can't take the chance that it's unsupported. 
Having looked at other hosts, we find Webmate (who are already our email hosts) to be the easiest web set-up for web amateurs like ourselves! Plus their response time is excellent, and you can ring the team based in Bodmin, Cornwall.   
It will look completely different - see 2025-new-site webpage
​
As we prepare to move, we're changing layouts on this site -- changes must be live, so may be some temporary duplication on a page, mostly in mornings (UK time).
