/// JOIN THE COMMUNITY ///

Even though the series is over, we'll be keeping the conversation going on our Facebook group. It's a place for our Old Tunes Fresh Takes community to share ideas, submit tracks for feedback and just generally geek out about trad tunes and music production. 

Whether you're thinking of submitting a take in the future or just want to go deeper into the world of modern folk music then join us. We're also really keen to get your ideas about how to take the project even further so if you've got any ideas for things you'd like to see, drop us an email or a message on social media.
