Sidmouth Folk Festival 2021 is going ahead, 30th July – 6th August. The Big Band Workshops will be delivered via Zoom daily, Sunday-Friday (not Thursday) 11.15am-12.15pm.

The tunebook is ready, with recordings of the parts. You can download all from here. The workshops may require tickets from Sidmouth Festival, or a signup process. Watch this space for more information!

The tunes are played in pairs, in the same way as we would use them for a dance, and for each one there is (a) tune on its own (b) tune and harmony part (c) tune, harmony, trumpet and bass.
