Welcome

 

 

In the mid-80's some folks in Flagstaff, Arizona took a notion to form a club for the purpose of playing acoustic music, playing and dancing at the Contra dances they would host, bringing in local, regional, and nationally recognized entertainment for the enjoyment of the community, and sharing this good fun with whoever wanted to take part in it. The good times have been many and through the years the Flagstaff Friends of Traditional Music realizes we are part of a larger body of people throughout the land who share the love of the music that unites us. This web site is a continuance of this notion.
