Traditional Song Workshops

To encourage and support people interested in traditional songs and traditional singing, we run a programme of song workshops.  This includes informal evenings where singers work on songs, repertoire, style and performance skills, normally on the third Thursday of the month.  Come along to one of our song sessions and find out more!

On Sunday 2 October we had a full day workshop with James Fagan, open to all singers to come and learn some folk songs - whether they were already steeped in the tradition or new to it.  Here's an account of the day, and feedback from those attending.

In fact the feedback from all our full day workshops with top tutors has been really positive.  Here's a typical comment: "The workshops run by Sandra, Lauren and Sam were excellent.  They each combined great skill and knowledge of the music with a warm, inviting approach.  People sang and shared ‘folk’ memories who probably hadn't done for many years.  I really enjoyed the extra attention this gave to folk music in Birmingham this year."
