"From the fiercely traditional to the frankly eccentric."
In 2015 the Islington Folk Club again held, for the seventh year, a competition across the World Wide Web for unaccompanied solo singers. Entry was free and the videos of the performance -- we do like to see the singer -- had to be posted to YouTube and the URL sent to trad2mad@islingtonfolkclub.co.uk by 31st October 2015.
