The Durham University Folk Society exists to promote folk music and dance throughout the university.
Our music sessions on Wednesdays form the cornerstone of our society, but we also host special events
throughout the year including gigs with local bands, subsidised trips to festivals and ceilidhs every
term. We have our own Rapper and Morris teams, an informal choir and a professional ceilidh band.
We welcome everyone to our society, regardless of musical ability or past experience. Our events and
practices are open to anyone with enthusiasm, and we take pride in drinking proper beer and just having
a huge amount of fun!

AGM
Our AGM will be held on Wednesday 2nd May, from 7:45 to 9pm in the Market Tavern. We encourage
anyone to stand for an exec position if they have enjoyed being part of the society, but even if
you don't want to it is important to have your say in the running of folksoc. Of course, we will
have our session afterwards. Contact us for more information about
exec positions.
