MUSIC, SONG & DANCE WORKSHOPS FOR 2010

Our workshops are getting a bit of a reputation – for offering a great opportunity to learn from people who are friendly and really understand their subject. 
With workshops for all interests and standards from complete beginner to accomplished performer  2010 sees – amongst others – the chance to learn a huge range of skills - the basics of guitar or to form a band in a week; to begin singing or to sing in harmony; to learn a French dance or to polish up your clog techniques.  We have workshops in banjo, guitar, fiddle, accordion, concertina, melodeon, harmonica and hurdy-gurdy.  Try out the didgeridoo, the Jews’ harp, pocket instruments, the cajon or beat some other drums.  Pick up some tips for writing a song or a poem, or how to tell a story.
Make this the year YOU learn something new and remember – entry to workshops is included in the Season Ticket or you can just buy individual tickets.
Come and join in!

Progressive workshops take place over several days; see how much progress you make by the end of the week!
