"Residential summer schools in Durham, offering workshops in folk music, song and dance. Folkworks Adult, Youth and Junior Summer Schools provide a unique opportunity for keen amateur musicians to work closely with some of the finest performers/tutors in the field of folk music, song and dance. These courses, which can be residential or nonresidential, mix study with fun and relaxation - and the chance to make new friends."

When sending information to be added to flaxey green please include contact details for the organiser/s so people can check whether there have been any last minute changes. If the event is cancelled please let flaxey green know.

flaxey green appears to be a web site about folk music from Devon, but they list other events of interest. I assume that if anyone wanted to publicise their event, they could do so through flaxey green. Just be very sure to give them the info they're asking for, or else!
