Moonrakers Folk Orchestra

About

Each year, Moonrakers run a series of sought-after Folk Orchestra workshops across the country for intermediate instrumentalists who wish to develop skills in arranging and playing folk tunes and songs in an ensemble.

Join Jon Bennett (guitar, ukulele, bouzouki, whistles), Jacqui Johnson (cello, fiddle, keyboard) and Becki Luff (harp, keyboard) for an inspiring six-hour workshop at Barbon village Hall, ahead of their concert at St Mary's Church the same evening.

You'll have the opportunity to work through a number of tunes and songs, and will be invited to suggest arrangement ideas yourself. Music (with chords, countermelody and bass) will be sent out in advance along with a video of each tune played at medium pace for those who learn by ear. Above all, it's a rare opportunity to play with a multi-instrumental and welcoming group.

The £50 workshop price includes:

Six-hour session with three experienced folk musicians
Tea/coffee plus light lunch (please advise any special dietary requirements in advance)
Ticket to the concert on the evening of Sat 25 April.
