introduction to the diaries on the BBC website.
The English Folk Dance and Song Society has, for over a hundred years, worked to record, develop and promote the folk music, dance, song and traditions of our country.
With nearly 4,000 members and affiliated clubs and organisations, it is regarded as one of the premiere folk development and advocacy organisations in the UK.
On this site you will find information about the Society, what it is and what it does. Everyone with a love of, or an interest in, the traditional folk music, dance, song and traditions of England is eligible to become a member of the Society. If you are not currently a member, we hope that you will join the Society to help us to continue our work of recording, developing and promoting the traditional folk arts in England.
Note - by the middle of 2010 we will be launching a new site that is 'all singing all dancing'. Please bear with us in the mean time.
