Email Newsletters
There are various 'alternative' email newsletters available to folk-oriented people. These can be downloaded for viewing, saved to file, or printed by clicking on the link. Their contact details are listed below should you wish to be included on their emailing list.

The Newcastle & Hunter Valley Folk Club committee does not necessarily endorse the content found in these newsletters, but provides them as an information resource which we feel may be of interest to folkies.
