Friends of American Old Time Music and Dance

FOAOTMAD is the UK organisation promoting American old-time music and dance.

This public facebook group is for people interested in the oldtime "mountain" music from the USA. Pre-bluegrass stuff. Stereotypically banjos, fiddles and rocking chairs on porches. Old rural music generally but let's not get too bogged down.

Created in 2009 the group is nearly 3,500 members. There's plenty of friendly discussion on good music, and events in the UK, as well as posts about festivals here in the states.
