Aged 10 – 18? Play an instrument or sing?
Come and join our Folk Music Sunday Sessions where you can learn
how to play and sing folk tunes and songs by ear.
No music reading necessary! All ability levels are welcome.
Just bring your instrument and voice and we will create a fun Folk
Ensemble which will develop your musicianship and listening skills.
Young Folk Sunday Sessions are designed as a monthly series running
from November to May, culminating in a performance at
Chester Folk Festival in Kelsall on Monday 26th May 2025.
Supported by the Earl of Chester's Benevolent Fund.
