The Not Just Folk Music Group continues to grow in both size and performance. Although we originally called ourselves a folk group, we have never restricted ourselves to purely traditional or contemporary folk music. Blues, Country, amusing musical ditties, and even 60s/70s pop may be heard. Indeed, any acoustic music is most welcome at any of our sessions.
Our already active and enthusiastic group of singers and musicians, who enjoy either playing, singing, or just joining in with music from a variety of backgrounds, are continuing to attend and enjoy the monthly sessions. The aim of the group is for members to join in and enjoy impromptu sessions of music which can be from almost any section of the musical spectrum. Contributions of any sort are always welcomed, and a wide-ranging variety of musical renditions are already being given and enjoyed by members of the group.
Any U3A members who have guitars, accordions, violins, tin whistles, spoons, or whatever tucked away in cupboards gathering dust, should take this opportunity to get together with other like-minded ‘musicians’ and ‘singers’ for informal and impromptu sessions of music. If you are not able to play an instrument, you may like to sing unaccompanied, or even just give a monologue or read some poetry. Not everyone attending need sing or play an instrument, but all are welcome to attend, if only to listen, hopefully enjoy some music in a relaxed atmosphere, and perhaps join in a chorus or two.
