The Takeover is our annual celebration of youth folk!

The Young Folk Club will run a day of free online folk activities using Zoom. We will have a workshop and Q and A with Hannah James (Lady Maisery, The JigDoll Ensemble), as well as a session, listening club and a craft workshop. We start at 10.30am and finish at 4.00pm (with plenty of breaks). The event will be open for all young people aged 14-21 who are enthusiastic about folk music, song and dance or who are curious to learn more.
