Hi, this is Folk Factory Youth & we've hijacked the twitter account!
We are on the coach to play at the Cecil Sharp House for its annual youth takeover.
We are excited to see what other folk youth groups around the country are playing!
More updates to come :)

The Youth Folk Factory have been invited to perform at the Cecil Sharp House as part of EFDSS's Youth Folk Takeover in July, and so we're raising money for our coach! (1/4)
If you'd like to support them on their trip, you can find out more about the Sponsorship and the upcoming concert/ceilidh on the @Soundpost website!
Folk Factory is back for another term & they are sounding great! We're at our lovely new premises at Burton Street, Hillsborough & have space for new members!
So if you know any young people that are interested in folk music or want to have a go at playing & singing in a fun & creative ensemble, send them to us!

We also have two in-school groups, an adult group and will be starting some folk dance after half term, so plenty for everybody to get involved with!

Latest Review: A Seed Of Gold is a formidable album that builds and broadens on the success of @RosieHood’s debut release. She’s an incredibly adept storyteller, reflected in both the musical arrangements and her choice of tales. folkradio.co.uk/2023/10/the-…
The Rosie Hood Band has a new single out today! You can watch the full video of Lyddie Shears on youtube now.
