Suffolk Folk

Come and Join the Band

7.30pm every 2nd Thursday of the month at the Suffolk Punch Public House, Ipswich

Suffolk has a long history of traditional music and Suffolk Folk are aiming to keep it that way! They are now running a monthly workshop aimed at bridging the gap between playing at home and in public sessions. It will also give participants the experience of playing together as a band.

Suffolk Folk will be holding "Come And Join The Band" workshop in the upstairs room at the Suffolk Punch on Norwich Road, Ipswich every second Thursday of the month from 7.30.p.m. until 9ish. They are designed to attract all age groups from youngsters upwards and all acoustic instruments able to play in the keys of D and G.

The music workshop, in a private room, (but with access to drinks from the Bar below!) are designed to help people become more confident playing traditional music socially, and are aimed at Beginners and Improvers. The tunes will be played at a reasonable pace so everyone can join in. They'll also cover playing as a band, helping with arrangements, harmonies/counter melodies and other dark mysteries.

The workshop will be run by Suffolk Folk's Maggie Moore and Stan Bloor who play together in the folk band Pluck 'n' Squeeze. The cost is £2 and Suffolk Folk members get a 25% discount! For more details drop us an email: info@suffolkfolk.co.uk
