Links Page

The table below contains links to other sites sorted into various categories - Clubs, Artists, Festivals, Media/Magazines, etc.

If you would like to have your link included here, please send an email to the webmaster at links@folknorthwest.co.uk  or put a message on the guest book. Tell me a bit about your site and which category you would like it to go under - We can start another category if necessary. 

The links tables will be updated on a regular basis. Hopefully I've incorporated all the links requests from the old site but if your link isn't on yet, please send it in again and I'll include it.

Links to member clubs' websites are also included on the Club Page.

If you find that a link doesn't work - perhaps because the site has changed address or I've typed it incorrectly, please let me know and I'll check it and change it.
