What is uk.music.folk?
The uk.music.folk Usenet newsgroup is for discussion of folk/roots/acoustic music in and from the UK. Defining folk music has always been a precarious task and most of us who are into this kind of music have very catholic tastes which are reflected by the booking policies of most clubs. Therefore this group covers a broad range of tastes within that genre and embraces all those types of music that you would expect to hear at a folk – folk/blues club or festival in the UK. The full charter of uk.music.folk is available on Dick Gaughan’s site, at http://www.usenet.org.uk/uk.music.folk.html.
