Wiltshire Folk Arts
"Wiltshire Folk Arts has sprung from Wiltshire Traditions, a small organisation based in Potterne as you may have already seen. The idea behind Wiltshire traditions was fairly straightforward and was to concentrate on collection of traditional songs, music, customs and traditions, but after careful and very long deliberation it was decided that Wiltshire needed a much more comprehensive organisation in order to promote the music and traditions that we love so much."
Meets every Friday (bar July/August) with frequent guests at Gorse Hill Working Mens Club, Chapel Street, off Cricklade Road, Swindon. For further details phone Ted Poole on 01793 722335 or Eric Stott on 1793 521301
