Our weekly informal music sessions in the Court Inn on Wednesdays form the cornerstone of the society, and we welcome anyone wanting to play or listen. For those who, like me, had no previous experience of playing in a session before coming to Durham, please come along and check it out! There is no pressure to play, and we always include a selection of tunes from the society's tunebook for those who don't know the music.

Also integral to Folksoc are the Durham University Rapper and Morris Teams. Again anyone, regardless of experience, is welcome to turn up, the emphasis being on fun and trying something new! The rapper team practises in the Big Jug on Sunday evenings and regularly crawls round the pubs of Durham and Newcastle.

As if that wasn't enough, we also hold lively and well attended ceilidhs every term and organise subsidised trips to local concerts and festivals throughout the year.
