Welcome to the Folk for Multiple Sclerosis WebsiteFolk for M.S. started in 1990 as a one-off concert to raise funds to help people with Multiple Sclerosis. The evening was such a great success that it has continued as an annual event, now held at the Old Mill Hall in Grove, Oxfordshire. In 2006 we were approached by the organisers of the White Horse Ceilidhs to hold a joint ceilidh in aid of FfMS. The first ceilidh was great success, so now it appears we have another annual FfMS event! Preparations are now well advanced for the 2008 Concert & Ceilidh – and tickets can now be reserved by sending a cheque, payable to “Folk For M.S.”, to Folk for MS, 1 Membury Way, Grove, Wantage OX12 0BP. Tickets will also be available to buy from The Vale & Downland Museum, Wantage from May 08. FfMS Weekend 2008 FfMS
