Venues: Alba•Scotland

​​Song, Music, Dance, Poetry, Story:   Clubs • Concerts • Sings • Sessions • Ceilidhs

Folklife West's main areas are: Wales, and England West Country & West Midlands.
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  or contact sam@folklife.uk and we'll be happy to help.
