Membership
Membership of FOAOTMAD is open to anyone who has an interest in playing, dancing to or listening to American old-time music. As a member you will receive our quarterly colour magazine, Old Time News, as well as discounted prices for our festival and workshops.
Our annual festival includes a weekend of concerts, short workshops and sessions covering both old-time music and dance. Artists come from the UK, America and Europe to take part giving festival goers a full flavour of the world of American old-time music.

If you are interested in either flatfoot or clog dancing then attending our festival and camps will give you access to both dancers and dance groups.
