A collection of links to websites about Baring-Gould and to English folk song


 

Some Baring-Gould links

 

This small collection of links will take you to other sites of interest because of their connection to Sabine Baring-Gould or to folk song

 

The Sabine Baring-Gould Appreciation Society ( http://www.sbgas.org/ )

Members of SBGAS are interested in the broad range of subjects and activities that Baring-Gould involved himself in. The society has an annual meeting, usually at a location connected to Baring-Gould in some way. There is a monthly newsletter and an annual publication of the Transactions of the society. The website carries a growing collection of articles from the newsletter and other sources. It also has an extensive list of Baring-Gould links, which I won’t repeat here.

 

Wren Music ( http://www.wrenmusic.co.uk/ )

The community arts organisation based in west Devon that has played a major part in popularising Baring-Gould in recent years. Visit this site to find information on the Baring-Gould Song School and on the Baring-Gould Folk Festival.

 

The Traditional Song Forum ( http://www.tradsong.org/ )

An organisation for those interested in traditional song as researchers or as performers. The website contains useful reference information as well as news about events related to traditional song

 

The Vaughan Williams Memorial Library ( http://www.efdss.org/library.htm )

The hard copy collection is a uniquely useful reference source for folk song in England. The recent addition of the on-line indexes and other information makes this a very useful collection indeed.
