This is a list of organised Music Weekends and music workshops where the entertainment is provided by those attending, they are mainly folk based but will hopefully contain all other types of music. This page also contains Folk/Acoustic sessions in the Cheshire area.

I have spent many an hour searching the net for a regular workshops/sessions where I could join with other people who play musical instruments and sing, form small bands and perform.

If you run or know of any other Music Weekends, Weeks or regular sessions in the UK please let me know and I will include you on this menu page. Please email Glynne Davies at Glycar@aol.com

If you would like further details about the above weekends please email Glycar@aol.com mentioning the weekend and your address and telephone number and I will pass on the information to the organisers. I found it extremely difficult to find information about these weekends but the search was well worth it, which is why I had started this page, hopefully we can add weekends and regular sessions to this page so that others will have an easier task. Please if you know of similar events please let me know.

As I have said above, the weekends are great but not quite what I was initially looking for. I am male, live in the North West, south of Manchester, play Guitar and Mandolin. Although I can sing it takes me a long time to learn the words and initially I was looking for a workshop where I could join in and form small bands, play my instruments and let others sing, perhaps joining in the singing occasionally. I am as I imagine quite a few guitar/instrument players are, looking to team up with other like minded players to form a small band and play at small venues, even play some of the few songs I have written (Now on CD), so if you know of a small band that need an extra player or want to team up and form a band and you are local to Manchester, Stockport, Macclessfield, please contact me.
