Encyclopedia4U - Filk music - Encyclopedia Article

Originally "filk music" was a typo for folk music in a never-published essay on the influence of Science Fiction and Fantasy on folk music.
Filk is a form of music created from within fandom, generally late at night at science fiction conventions.
Filk is still sung in late night filk circles at Science Fiction conventions but there are also dedicated Filk conventions each year in the US, Canada, UK and Germany.
