Delightful interview @JoHughe65540446 & @brianplayer1 ! @LeveretBand share secrets behind the band's starling-like ability to play together, an approach that brings traditional songs to life so beautifully. Next years course @HalswayManor is nearly sold out! #folkmusic #tradfolk

Taking songs from page into performance is a skill. Kathryn Roberts and Sean Lakeman are coming to Halsway 11-13 Aug to guide you through more challenging aspects of repertoire development – be that on a stage, in a singaround, or just an informal sharing https://t.co/KXG1jdOx9W
