This is the online discussion group for the Traditional Song Forum.
The TSF is a national organisation based in the UK that brings together those interested in research, collecting and performance of Traditional Song. Our aim is to be inclusive of all the traditions found in the British Isles although the majority of Forum members are also interested in the songs originating in these islands which might now be found in other places in the world.
Although forum members are serious about their interests the style of the organisation is informal and we are determined not to get stuffy or bureaucratic.
The Yahoo discussion group welcomes non-members who are engaged in similar research and who wish to share knowledge with our members.
