What is filk? Filk is the folk music of the Science Fiction and Fantasy community. Songs are not restricted to any specific genre or style. The songs are a mixture of both original music and parodies. Think "Weird Al" Yankovic with a much larger library. For more definitions of filk see the filk faq at -
http://www.filking.net/filkfaq/what-is-filk/

 

You don't have to sing to attend the open filk.

 

For some samples of filk songs, visit:
The Virtual Filksing at http://www.prometheus-music.com/eli/virtual.html
All songs on the site are high quality and some of the recordings are from former I-CON filk guests.

 

The Filk Archive at http://www.filkarchive.org.uk/ Free membership required to hear and download the songs, but there is over 400 songs on the site. Roberta Rogow has four songs on the site including one written @ Philcon 2009.
