- The Folk Harp Society
The International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsman (ISFHC) was established in the late 70’s by Robbie Robinson, and has long been an active part of folk harping every since. The Folk Harp Journal comes out 4 times a year, and, in 2008, became a full-color, professionally laid out magazine meeting the needs of folk harpers around the world. Membership is only $30 US per year, and worth every penny.
