Tuneworks - as ever brilliant! So inspired by TW at Shrewsbury about 6 or 7 years ago we came back to Chorlton and started our own Beginners Tune Session - now at least Improvers. As a result 150+ have passed through, first at The Beech and now the

Beech Band at The Dulcimer

We have a random mostly acoustic Ceilidh Band of between 15 and 30, a website:
Which is still called Folk at The Beech - until we get to the bottom of changing

And a fb page:

We also have our own Tune Book which is downloadable in most formats from the website. We were a whole page in English Dance and Song magazine.

Although we had been running a Singaround for a year or so, we wouldn't have started a Tunes Session if we had not been to the Tuneworks Sessions at Shrewsbury.

I think they are the most important thing happening in UK Folk at the moment. Thousands of people have played together at their Sessions. I would say to anybody who can play 3 tunes slowly: Find two or three others and start your own Beginners Session - it's easy and great fun. You can have all our tune book for free from our website and any more info or whatever. Our cantact details are on there.

Thanks again Tuneworks you have changed my life and a load of peoples lives in Chorlton, South Manchester and beyond!
