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.
