In one month's time Friday night at FolkEast will be in full swing. The countdown is on!
We can't wait to see you all for some dancing, singing and perhaps a gin or two too...
Don’t forget you can get your weekend and day tickets on our website: folkeast.co.uk/tickets-4/
Ding ding ding time for a reminder about this all you long-biographied performers out there.

Oh, who’s this? Why, it’s @gdavies and Little @AlexHorne, setting such classic tasks as ‘create a comic strip with this potato’, and ‘launch this egg’ in the inaugural Halsway Young Folk Taskmaster.

11-years-ago me would have *really* enjoyed sitting in the hall between three smallpipe groups, one of which is just looking drone de-tuning and tuning, on a Saturday morning.
Finally got my hands on Northumbrian pipes. Managed to play 'four dying cows' & 'incessant ambulance'. @kathryntickell what's the secret?!
