Set Dancing News
From IrishDanceWiki
Set Dancing News is an online magazine, with a dead-tree version that is published bi-monthly, that is the absolute best way to find out what set dancing events are going on around the world at any given time.
It's run by Bill Lynch who maintains not only a list of dancing events but hosts regular dance articles, photos from events and a dance library.
From the web site:
- Set Dancing News was the first web site about Irish set dancing. It first went on-line in December 1995 and was announced in January 1996. At the time it was based in London and called the London Set Dancing News. It was originally intended to provide information of interest to dancers in London, with listings of local, British and Irish events. Nearly from the start it was apparent that there was international interest in the site and set dancing. After a few months London was dropped from the name and the site concentrated on providing as much information as possible about events in Britain and Ireland. This eventually broadened to Europe, North America and anywhere set dancing is found.
- In December 1997 the first issue of Set Dancing News, the magazine, was delivered to 150 subscribers. It was intended to be a bi-monthly newsletter version of the web site for those dancers not on the Internet. Since then it has turned into a sixty page colour magazine delivered to close to two thousand subscribers.
- Since May 1999, Set Dancing News has been based in Kilfenora, Co Clare, where Bill Lynch maintains the web site and edits and prints the magazine between dances. Both the web site and magazine are dedicated to the interests of set dancers and set dancing.
