Folk London Online

===================
October - November 1998 listings
--------------------------------
Folk London is a bi-monthly magazine published in association with the
EFDSS. The following consists of the diary section of the issue for
October and November 1998.
This document is posted to Usenet and available at
http://webworlds.co.uk/dharley/
The online listings are not archived.
The full magazine is sold in Folk Clubs in London at 30p per copy, or
contact the editor at the address below to get an annual subscription
(4.00 pound sterling).
I will pass on any e-mail as hard-copy to the editor, but please don't
send me copy for Folk London via e-mail, since all I can do with
it is print it and snailmail it on, so it'll probably actually take
longer than mailing or faxing it direct.
This Diary is compiled voluntarily (not by me - I just extract it
from a DTP package and reformat it as text, then post it) from
listings received from club organisers. No responsibility can be
accepted for the accuracy of items in this diary, but if you find
any errors, mail me and I'll try to correct them (if the date
hasn't already passed....)
