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
