Sussex Folk Association (SusFA)

SusFA is the county organisation for traditional music, dance and song. SusFA is affiliated to the EFDSS and produces the magazine Sussex Pie listing clubs and forthcoming events. It is distributed to groups throughout East and West Sussex.
We are setting up a site for the Sussex Folk Association (SusFA) which is still under construction. Due to demand we are allowing access so people can see the draft directory.
