Some people on this board may be interested to know that there is a Folk Proms day on 20th July presumably as part of the Vaughan-Williams celebrations.
Bellowhead are performing in the evening but in the morning there is a Peoples Folk Orchestra where people of any level can join together.
I have only been playing the melodeon for a few months but have applied to be a part of the orchestra so it should be fun. I can always play quietly if it's not going well!!
If any one is interested I would recommend checking the Proms website.
