About Me


I'm Tim Carroll, researching a book about folk and building a folk web site looking at folk music and it's influences.- www.folkwords.com

Rather than concentrating purely on the historical perspective, I want to see where folk is going (with due reverence to the past) and how folk music relates to people today.

My research is not restricted to the MySpace community (this is one source) it also involves interviews, gigs, listening to music and gathering opinions. This section of MySpace just gives you a 'taste' - to find the reviews, observations and comment go to the FolkWords web site: www.folkwords.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Everyone involved in folk - new and established bands, musicians, singers and songwriters. People who have said it all before. People with something new to say. People who think they've created a new or different (or the same but slightly different) corner of the folk genre. People at the centre of, on the fringe of and the far, dark reaches of this style of expression called 'folk' music. Anyone kind enough to share and air the views and opinions circulating around folk.

We may encounter each other on a web site, at a festival or a gig, in the pub or over a cup of strong tea. Wherever we meet - I look forward to talking to you.

A big thank you to the kind people that I've interviewed already, to all those who contributed their views and to those who have agreed to help as soon as their schedules allow.
