Individual membership

Why join EFDSS?

Our members are our greatest advocates, and provide vital financial support of our work as a Registered Charity.

Members’ benefits include:

• A full-colour quarterly magazine, English Dance & Song, providing news and reviews of what’s hot in the folk arts sector
• Folk Music Journal, our annual academic journal, highly valued by universities and libraries across the world
• Limited public liability insurance cover for folk activities / events involving up to 500 people, with a liability of up to £5 million

 
In recent years the support of our members has helped us to become one of most dynamic arts organisations in England: we have dramatically increased activities around learning, performance and artist support, and have developed Cecil Sharp House into a vibrant and creative arts centre.
