Next Young Folk session will be in September, details later!
[We're having our summer break.]

"Young Folk" sessions are an opportunity for children to learn traditional folk songs, to have fun singing together as families and to encourage children's musical development.

Young Folk meet from 3 to 4pm on the second Sunday of the month at Chilwell Road Methodist Church, followed by snacks. Joy and Eric will be leading, as always, and Martin will be doing as Joy tells him! We've bought some more percussion instruments over the Summer (including a croaking frog and clacking crocodile). At each session we have some new songs - and some old favourites. Don't worry if you've forgotten them - they'll soon come back to you.

Children of all ages welcome. We ask that children are accompanied by adults - it's a family affair. You can bring grandparents along too if you like. There are no age limits to Young Folk, though it's probably best suited to children from 5-12. As last year, there's no charge. We suggest a donation of £2 per child (certainly no more than £4 a family) to help cover costs - adults free! But the money's not important - we just want to share the music with as many people as possible.

For further information telephone Martin Stott on 0115 922 7317 or email him .

Here are the words of some of the songs we sing. Some of the songs include a recording of Joy singing them. Use the words to learn the songs at home -- but try to come to the session without the support of printed sheets! Suggested amendments to the words welcome at any time!
