Various members of The Yorkshire Garland Group regularly give presentations about traditional Yorkshire songs and the Group's work at colleges, schools, museums, festivals, civic societies etc. all around the county. We sing the songs, talk about their background, and play recordings of source singers we've made, partly to publicise our website. We organised our own seminar last year at York and brought in other presenters running similar projects around the country. This was aimed mainly at music leaders, teachers and students. We tried to run a more practical seminar this year but the take-up was so small we had to cancel.
The length of the presentation usually depends on who the audience are. If it's a society or a school an hour or more is plenty, but a festival workshop can be longer. It also depends on how many of our singers are present.
