Even if you're more into Scottish than English folk music, there's still useful information there. We particularly liked the Jargon Buster. There's much more there than just musical terms, as it covers folk traditions, costume details and other intriguing facts. (For example, if you go busking, then technically you're "cadging" rather than begging, ie, you're getting money in exchange for providing entertainment, and not just because you begged for it ... a useful distinction!)

- Jargon Buster
- EFDSS Home Page (http://www.efdss.org/)
- Vaughan Williams Memorial Library - a real gem in the folk music world, and well worth a visit if you have a spare couple of hours in London.
