🎶NEW AT PLATFORM: FOLK CLUB | FRIDAY 5 JUNE @ 1.30PM - 3.30PM
Join us for an open folk music session in our studio theatre - a chance to gather, share tunes, and play some songs together in a relaxed and social atmosphere. No experience needed. Open to all levels.
Led by Celine, Platform’s fiddle tutor and an experienced folk musician, this session welcomes anyone curious to play, sing, or just to sit in and listen.
Bring a tune you know, try something for the first time, or simply take a seat and be part of it.
You can bring along your own instrument if you'd like but don't worry if you don't have one as we have some fiddles and guitars which will be available to use.
Drop in, stay for as long as you like, and take part in a session shaped by the people in the room.
The class is offered on a Pay-What-You-Like basis where you decide what to pay. Book your space via the Platform website.
