Peter Kennedy's Traditional Recordings
- Sadly, Peter died on June 10th 2006. (Peter Kennedy, "Mr Folk", Times on Line obituary). However his site at http://www.folktrax.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/menus/music-types_list.htm "Folktrax" lives on, in the Internet Archive, "The Wayback Machine", I'm sure that peterwould be delighted! Just put the above URL for Folktrax into the Search box. There are entries from February 12th 2003 until April 30th 2007, unfortunately not all the links work (not in the archive), but a goodly number still do. Similarly, if you try http://www.folktrax.org/ on the Archive you see 6 years from August 2000 (You get a message from Virgin media saying that you are not allowed to see this site, for http://www.folktrax.org/)
