A
super slate of instructors has agreed to participate in Weatherbury Farm's
second year of Folk Music at Weatherbury Farm workshops.
Weatherbury
Farm has "Escape to Tranquility" as a slogan. These peaceful farm
surroundings are an excellent match for the peacefulness of the music that our
featured musicians offer. There are comfortable rooms and no need to leave the
farm, but for those who want to take an afternoon or evening trip, there are
many local attractions nearby. Beyond all of that is the final key, a chance to
spend quality time with an instructor and fellow students without all of the
distractions that happen at many of the weeklong and weekend workshops. Many
people love all of those extra things, but many people really want the chance
to concentrate on the learning they have come to do, and a great way to do that
is to escape to the tranquility at Weatherbury Farm. For much more information
about the venue, check http://weatherburyfarm.com for all kinds of information.
Dale, Marcy, and Nigel Tudor will be glad to give you more information about
the facilities. You may contact them directly at info@weatherburyfarm.com or at
