From Januray 14th onwards it will be at the Swan, highstreet, Needham Market. Suffolk has a long history of traditional music and Suffolk Folk are aiming to keep it that way! They are 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. The workshops 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!) 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!
