Folk and Roots - A Guide to the Folk and Acoustic Scene in the UK

About Me


Firstly as you may have guessed this myspace is concerned with folk, roots and acoustic music, and no offence but I have a 'deny' button and I will use it, please visit our main site at www.folkandroots.co.uk to see what Folk and Roots is about before requesting our 'friendship'.
If you are going to request our myspace friendship and your site is relevant please visit our main site and we would be more than happy to add your link, list your events etc, if you arent going to make use of the facility that is folk and roots, its a bit pointless requesting our friendship really..
Come visit us at Folk and Roots
Of course if you have requested us to add your music based (artist, agency, company etc) site as a friend and you have a 'real' web address drop us a line and we'll add your site as a link at the web address above, and if you are a UK based folk, acoustic etc artist or venue/club let us know and we'll include your gig dates in our listings, which are accessed by an increasing number of acoustic gig goers (for want of a better term).

My Interests


Attending folk concerts, folk clubs, standing against a bar holding a pint of real ale in a tankard wearing a tie dye t-shirt listening to those with considerably more musical ability than my goodself.

I'd like to meet:
