The Music Box Archive is a new archive of field recordings set up by Megan Wisdom and the East Anglian Traditional Music Trust. Comprised of recordings of singers from today’s East Anglian traditional music scene, it aims to build a picture of the folk music in the East as it is now; vibrant, eclectic and alive with traditional songs and tunes. The Music Box Archive intends to bring local musicians, whose contributions to the East Anglian folk scene have kept it alive for decades, to the fore.

Gordon Ruddock was a long time friend and generous supporter of EATMT and after his death in early 2017, the Trust learned that they were one of ten charities to benefit from his Estate. As a result, they decided to set up the bursary scheme to offer help to the younger generation, who they hope will in turn help to keep traditions alive.
