Performers: ​Alba•Scotland

​music & song, dance, spoken word

​Folklife West's main areas are: Wales, England West.
Currently, most entries are from paying Folklife Members, and most are in those areas.

Since Lockdown & Zoom, some entries from other areas, mainly by personal contact,  so not full coverage, but all are welcome!​

Our priority is our printed magazine Folklife West, so no time to research/contact all possible entries.  
​So, please tell folks to visit www.folklife-directory.uk for entry forms or contact sam@folklife.uk and we'll be happy to help.
