Dave Greenslade - Songwriting

Providing a fresh perspective on an ancient craft, this workshop is looking to give folk fans the chance to learn writing from an experienced singer-songwriter. This workshop will give festival attendees the chance to learn and collaborate with each other in a way that teaches them to be heard using songs. Focusing on the basics and how to use the craft for self-expression, the award-winning writer Felicity Dowd will give a young perspective on the age-old tradition of songwriting, the root of contemporary folk music."

Sharradogg (Don Fogg and Charlie Sharrad) - Open Tuning Guitar

Open tunings for folk guitar. From basic to moderate. Why mess about with guitar tunings? Why not? Forget the internet ‘experts’ and use your own smarts and ears, lifting your playing and satisfaction in the process. We’ll be strumming and doing a bit of picking.
