CV Folk Freshers Workshop
Here’s your chance to gain and develop your music-making and performance skills under the guidance of leading musicians and performers from the folk circuit.
CVFolk is hosting a series of specialist workshops at the Albany Theatre, Coventry usually on the first Saturday morning of each month. For 2 hours you can build your expertise in a range of instruments and performance styles, inspired by experts.
NB – This is an additional Afternoon Workshop to celebrate and sing songs of Wales – in Welsh!
Andy Jones, organiser of Welsh choir and music events, Côr Cymraeg Coventry, hosts a special afternoon workshop at the Clive Benfield Studio in the Albany Theatre as a celebration of St.David’s Day.
You don’t have to be Welsh – or even an experienced singer – to have a go at performing a few straightforward folk songs. Andy will provide the words and you can learn the tunes by ear. Anyone is also welcome to play along on an instrument instead of singing (or as well). Harmony welcomed. All songs will be in Welsh, and Andy will give a few simple pronunciation hints (but won’t expect many people to be spot on first time!).
If there’s time, he may also teach one or two session tunes (again by ear) but probably only if enough of you bring instruments.
Admission £8 or £5 concessions, incl students and pensioners. Book in advance or pay on arrival, and bring an instrument if you have one!
