Has now passed the £1000 mark (£1148.33) in it's efforts to raise money for starving people in Africa - I realise that it's not exactly Bob Geldof levels but every little helps.

WE ARE NOT A CHARITY - PLEASE DON'T SEND US ANY MONEY - but please consider doing a raffle or collection at one of your concerts/sessions 0r even run a night just for the cause - Pay your money to one of the recognised aid agencies and let me know how much you raised - I'll add it to the total. Dont forget to publicise your event on the calendar on the site.

Please help - this is a way of making a difference with very little effort.

 Hi. I would love to know the words to Bob Pegg's wonderful song 'A Dram For The Singer'. I have most of them but the first verse is so difficult to work out. It's a beautiful song and I would love to know the words.

 Also, does anyone know the words to 'Wizard Of The Worldly Game' by Fairport Convention which appears on their album Angel Delight.

Dear all

Hope you dont consider this to be spam, as it is something that could definitely be of interest to local folk musicians and music fans.

I thought I would drop you a line to let you have info on a new service that is being launched in November. 

In connection with Mark Coyle, I am launching a folk music (in its broadest sense) music download site.

The site aims to make available deleted albums or previously unreleased music by artists that could be either new to the scene or well established. Such titles will be available to download via a secure server in high quality mp3 format. This is similar to the service offered by Itunes or Napster, but is different in a number of key respects.

1. The artist receives a 50% royalty (compared to the industry standard of 20%)

2. The artist pays NO fees or commission for this service

3. The artist receives a monthly royalty statement with payment in full

4. We can work with the artist to make this an effective free to use promotional tool and include, biog, photos, press cuttings, etc along with a link to the artists own web site/

5. ALL accounting processes will be available to the artist, so that they can be sure they receive EVERY penny of earned income.

6. We are a site dedicated to folk music. There will be no rap, hip-hop, heavy metal or rock music

I'm sure you will have a number of questions, but hope you might take a minute to look at the beta version of the site which is now on line at  http://www.wovenwheatwhispers.co.uk

On the site you will find full operational information for both artists and customers.

However, if you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact me. 

Best wishes

Ian Southworth

PS. This service is only applicable for music to which you own the rights (ie, not still owned by a record company) 

PPS. Feel free to forward this message to any artists who you feel may benefit from the service

This was my first visit (10/01/2006) which I was introduced to by Mark Dowding! Living for the last 20 odd years in Bedfordshire, I miss the Northern accents and Lanky folk music.

Can anyone give me a contact address/telephone number or will they pass on my email address to Bob Morton or Gerry Murphy from group Canny Fettle or Joe Kerrins who used to sing at Harry Boardman's folk club in the early 1980s? By the way, |I loved the website!
