RESEARCH

Production of our book involves a great deal of research. Originally very little tangible information was available on this subject – the information is with the people. We compiled a list of people to interview.

It is an ambitious project and one which we could not contemplate doing alone so we put out a call to anyone who would like to be involved. In particular, contact with anyone who has written about or researched this subject in the past. Any recordings, videos, films, articles, books anecdotes and memorabilia would be invaluable.

(Read some of the stories we have so far)

The method:

• Typed responses to be emailed back to Andrea:
• To participate in a “group story-telling session” with a few others,
• If you “don’t get out much these days”, it may be possible to arrange for a fellow-folkie to come and interview you at a convenient location.
• If you prefer, you could use this questionnaire as a stimulus and record your stories at home onto tape or CD. Please send your recording to:
