Virtuoso fiddle player Joe Broughton, Director of Folk Ensembles at Birmingham Conservatoire and the Guildhall School of Music, heads up a team of the most inspirational tutors on the folk and world music scene today to bring you a raucous week of high energy workshops, instrumental tuition, big ensemble projects and much more…

Improve your own playing, learn to work in a group and even just make stuff up that you think sounds good! FOLKWORLD will give you an insight into some of the most exciting, infectious and popular music in the world in a practical and enjoyable way.

You do not need to have any prior experience of playing folk, playing by ear or writing music. FOLKWORLD is for any instrument including voice, and is for any level of player except for complete beginners. If you can play a very simple tune you will be fine, if you are a genius we will challenge you!

Bring a packed lunch for lunch time, get free squash and biscuits in the breaks.

There is no FOLKWORLD course in 2015, we hope to be back in 2016!
