Friends of Filk is a non-profit association which takes filk music CDs to science fiction and fantasy conventions in the Pacific Northwest, and has used the funds to bring music guests to the Pacific Northwest who would normally not perform in our region.
Now that many sf/fantasy conventions are funding their own music guests of honor, we are using the funds to support filk music by investing in this website to spread the word about this fantastic sub-genre of folk music.
