Although there are still relatively few 'live' folk events taking place, there are plenty of 'mediated' experiences for us to enjoy including community radio and more active Zoom on-line meetings/sing-alongs. Do let us know of other such events that we should be telling people about. - Julie
Please Note - New/seriously revised items are in yellow and this week's calendar, starting with Monday 7 September, is at the bottom.

Hullo to the Naked Singlet - A message from Stephen Taberner:
"good thingammy
we have rebranded sunday's singlet as THE NAKED SINGLET
clothing, however, is strictly compulsory
I'm zingled by the challenge of how much, with just me and a uke, I can get you to sing. so it'll be shorter and zappier.....and almost no part singing (except for a few bits) a good one to invite your non-choir friends to!.
