Thread Name: Help: Folkworks Durham - recommended?
Subject: RE: Help: Folkworks Durham - recommended?
I went last year and learned so much.The participants were a lovely selection of people and everyone was so keen to learn. Everyone I met had a genuine interest in Folk music and was involved from 9.15am till as long as you could take - Midnight+ usually with Midnight++ on some occasions.(Drinking is optional *BG*)

Have booked again for Solo Song and singing with band. Some flexibility is possible so if space is available I might play Northumbrian Smallpies in a concert/ceildh band rather than play only in the innumerable sessions.

Cannot be recommended too highly. Please allow at least 3 weeks following the course to come back to Earth.

Happy learning to you all - John
