Several people asked about Folkworks.
In a sense, Folkworks no longer exists.
It was a partner in the establishment of The Sage Gateshead, but does not now exist as a separate entity. The name is used to brand a number of The Sage's initiatives and the work continues, not only in The Sage itself but also elsewhere in the region. Alistair Anderson is still involved.
In that sense, folk music development in the north east is assured.
