Forest Folk & the 'roadmap' .........

We do hope you are all safe and keeping well.

Our first challenge of 2021 is Lockdown Number 3 - see you on the other side!

Thank you everybody for all your support, take care, and stay safe.

Here's hoping for a better and brighter 2021

when we will all be able to get together again.

In the meantime, we thought we’d like to say hello, so starting Monday 1^st March at 8 pm,

we’ll have a Meet & Greet, or you can sing a song if you wish, on planet Zoom.

Please email info@forestfolk.co.uk if you’d like to ‘come along’ and we’ll send you a link on the Monday morning.

Many thanks to everyone who supported Forest Folk's autumn set of socially distanced concerts, with Jim Causley in September,

and Richard Digance in October. All the sessions were a great success, and enjoyed by all.

Take care of yourselves, keep safe, keep washing those hands and following social distancing requirements,

and once again, many, many thanks for your support.

Charles, Forest Folk
