This is a warren lined with folk gold and riddled with little densely filled pockets of knowledge and resources for all folk geeks out there.

So what will you find? Well, here are a few of my favorite pockets:

Song Index

So… Go, lovers of folk and geekery and feed on the wealth of lovely links and knowledgeable notes that make up the wonder that is ‘Mainly Norfolk’.
