Lewes Saturday Folk Club workshops 2010

[Valmai Goodyear]

The Lewes Saturday Folk Club in Sussex, England, runs every Saturday night, usually with guest performers as well as floor singers. We also hold a number of all-day workshops. Some of these are for specific instruments or voices, and some are for any instrument.

 

The workshops last a full Saturday or Sunday & the tutor performs at the Elephant & Castle, White Hill, Lewes BN7 2DJ UK, in the evening. Booking forms can be printed from the website www.lewessaturdayfolkclub.org/ about four months before any individual event.
