Youth Moot
The Youth Moot returns to FolkEa
Whether you have ambitions to perform on stage, take part in sessions, or watch from the audience, we want to help you on your journey! The Youth Moot is the place to be for young musicians, singers, artists and listeners at FolkEast. Join us in the tent for your chance to take part in music workshops and hang out with other new folkies at the festival.
We will be joined by the Norfolk and Suffolk Schools County Music Services who will be running the amazing Violin Project and will have lots of instruments that you can 'have a go' with.
Start your journey here. The Youth Stewards are here to ease you in, build your rhythm and help you find the fun in folk.
Artists performing at the festival will be dropping in to lead workshops and share their skills. Learn from the best, hone your craft and find new collaborators.
The Youth Moot is a social hub, it’s a place to play instruments, dance, sing or just hang out. The tent is open throughout the festival and you can drop in any time you like.
EXCITING NEWS !!
This year, FolkEast is working on a special project with the Aldeburgh Young Musicians at Britten Pears Arts which culminates in a performance at the festival on Friday 15th August.
Many of the participants will be joining us over the weekend in the Youth Moot.
YOUTH MOOT MUSIC & MORE
Between all the workshops, the Youth Moot is open to be used however you wish. If you want to hang out with your pals, meet some new friends, or have some quiet time to yourself, you’ll be very welcome. We’ll have games and activities to keep everyone busy, and our incredible team of Youth Stewards will be there to make sure everybody is happy and safe.
The Youth Moot is co-ordinated by Suffolk-based folk musician and educator Finn Collinson.
Finn first performed at FolkEast in his mid-teens, so he’s grown up with the festival! He’ll be pulling together another stellar team of workshop leaders and stewards to make this year’s Youth Moot one to remember.
