I have to admit SEFAN is fantastic,
having come from a rock/pop background where help is rare its nice to see
people out there that actually care about musicians and their interests.". David Hendry,
new SEFAN member. Nov 2010.
"Oxfolk is also lucky enough to have
access to the marvellous resource that is the South East Folk Arts
Network. I can't recommend them highly enough for general networking,
information about local events, contacts, help and advice for funding
bids?..the list goes on".
