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.

Following the successful launch of our workshop programme in February, world-renowned guitarist Kevin Dempsey is back to provide another of his friendly and inspiring workshops for those looking to add flair and flourish to their guitar playing. His career has taken this Coventry-based musician across the international music scene, working with everyone from Dave Swarbrick to Percy Sledge! Kevin is also an experienced tutor and welcomes guitarists of all ages, and at all stages to join him and improve on their abilities. Just bring your guitar and join the fun.

Admission £5 – book in advance or bring a fiver with you and your guitar!
