Do please book your tickets in advance, there is limited space and we completely sold out at the first gig at the Plough & Harrow : 
£8.00 Book (£10.00 on door).

KentFolk is just back from chasing music in Appalachia, where I chatted with Allison in Knoxville, over a lunch, and we raised the possibility of workshops. 
Allison says "Rachel loves teaching workshops! In addition to fiddle, [we can both] teach guitar, banjo, singing, and even bass." Allison also calls American Square Dance. 
So there will be fiddle & banjo instrumental workshops (£20) on Saturday 18th June, (4’ish / 5’ish) followed by an evening Americana jam / session / American Square Dance (with introductory dance workshop), in Littlebourne Thatched Barn. 

Please email me if you are interested in an instrument or dance workshop, or in coming to the dance: beau_at_kentfolk_dot_com .
