| Venue: | Moss Bank Mission |

We meet on two Fridays a month. At our first meeting, members sing, play, join in choruses, bring poems or just simply listen. At our second meeting, we concentrate on learning some of the songs we have heard performed by different members of the group.
Our songs and music cover both the traditional and the contemporary. We also introduce favourite folk performers and songwriters to the group, through the use of cds and the occasional visit in person.
Our instrumental music group will continue to meet from 1.15 p.m., before the "main" group starts at 2.00 p.m. Any instruments welcome, playing either from dots or by ear.
Come if you play, or if you sing, or if you just like to listen.
May 9th Folk Evening at Moss Bank Mission.
The Moss Bank Mission Folk Evening, featuring "Late Harvest", the u3a's very own Folk Group, is happening on Saturday 9th May at 7.30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale, price £6.00. All proceeds go to Moss Bank Mission. This is not a concert, but an evening where we encourage the audience to sing along with the performers. Some of the songs you will know from your childhood, some will be new to you.
Tickets can be bought from Ruth and Mike, or by email through this page, or from members of Moss Bank Mission. Please note there is no bar at the Mission, but you can bring your own drinks (beer and wine, but no spirits).
