We are delighted to announced that our Traditional Music Summer School will once again form a corner stone of the Bath Folk Festival in 2013.

We will be offering a week of intensive classes in a range of instruments, taught by top class tutors including Karen Tweed, Jon Hicks and Jane Dempsey.

Whether you are an accomplished player looking to learn some new techniques or a complete beginner, we want everyone to have the opportunity to learn traditional music during festival week. Bath Folk Festival is not just about listening to great music – its about making music at all levels.
