Folk Music Index - Newly Indexed Sources.
2008 Update
Listed here are the 376 books and recordings that have been added to
the index since the previous June 2007 edition.
Printed Sources - of the 70 books, folios, and instruction
added, some major resources include the Dover reprinting of Bunting's Ancient Music
of Ireland from 1840, and the facsimile reprint of 2 volume 1853 edition
of the Scots Musical Museum by James Johnson and Robert Burns, first published 1788-1803.
In contrast a recent publication, the Kenny Hall Music Book, also represents
an important contribution to the documentation of the west coast stringband revival
of the 70s. These and other useful and interesting items (I hope) are marked with a * below.
