Articles - East Anglian Traditional Music Trust

There is a wealth of information on the traditional music of East Anglia. The most recent articles appear here in date/season order and as they are updated they go on to form part of the forthcoming Newsletter which is sent out 3-4 times per year. As time moves on, these articles will be transferred to the Archives – Past Articles section.

If you would like to contribute to an article or indeed to information on any area within the website, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please email info@eatmt.org.uk or ring 07495 054669 to speak to the Trust’s administrator, Alex Bartholomew.
