The Folk Orc at Coda

Thursdays
7.30pm – 9.30pm
£7 PAYG

Folk Orc sessions are for people who play an instrument and want to get out there, playing with other people, improving their ability and learning a repertoire of traditional folk songs. Any acoustic instrument is welcome to join us.

The sessions are guided, music for the songs come from the Folk Orc Open Session Book Vol. 2 with chords, lyrics, notation and mandolin tab. This is a great way to boost your confidence as a musician and your ability as a player.

If you come to us a complete beginner on your instrument then that is fine as well, the most important thing to us is that you make some noise and enjoy yourself – everything else will come in time. As we say at The Folk Orc; “What’s the worst that could happen?”

Throughout the year we come together as the Folk Orc Regular Sessions Band and perform the songs we learn in session at various events around the South Coast. Attendance is not mandatory but everyone is welcome.
