If you play it, made it, or know it — we want to record with you.

You keep the rights to your material. Nothing is published without a consent record in your name, you set the scope, and you can withdraw it at any time without giving a reason.

Your name

As you want it written on the archive. We will not tidy or anglicise it.

Community or village

Optional, and only if you want it recorded.
