TEIGNMOUTH FOLK FESTIVAL, HERE WE COME!
Our Devon Youth Folk Ensemble (DYFE) are at Teignmouth Folk Festival this weekend, where they’ll be performing and holding a youth workshop – and both events are free!

Led by our professional musician Jon Dyer, they’ll be playing at The Triangle at 12 noon on Sunday 21 June. Jon and the Ensemble will then be hosting a workshop for 11-18-year-olds at Alice Cross Community Centre, 1-3 Bitton Park Road, from 2pm – 3.30pm.

We’ll supply the instruments – but please feel free to bring along your own if you wish. The workshop will focus on learning a folk tune with the group and then working with the group to make their own arrangement.

Young attendees don’t need to be accompanied by an adult but will need consent from a parent/carer to attend. Our Wren Music facilitators have a DBS check as required by their Safeguarding Policy.

There’s much more about DYFE, including videos, on our website: https://www.wrenmusic.co.uk/our-work/devon-youth-folk-ensemble

Catch our founders, Paul and Marilyn, at this year’s Plymouth Urban Tree Festival, where they’ll be singing songs connected to nature.They’ll be at Snapdragons in Victoria Park, Plymouth, on Saturday 9 May, late afternoon – and they’ll be encouraging lots of audience participation!

Paul and Marilyn are regular guests at the annual event, which is hosted by local volunteer-run charity, Plymouth Tree People, who for 20 years have been caring for and planting trees in Plymouth.

The Festival is a 9-day celebration of the city’s urban trees, and Marilyn says: “It’s a wonderful event and we love being part of it. We’re hoping to get lots of people along to join us singing – the more the merrier!”
