Ausworldfolk is a deliberately small mailing list that links people in Australia who have a direct involvement/interest in worldwide and folk music. It includes people who are radio program presenters, artists, distributors, producers, recording labels, reviewers, promoters, enthusiasts etc. In enables these people to ‘talk’ with a small group of like-minded folk, to post notices, raise queries, initiate/continue/conclude discussions – to be part of a national community.
