Folk Society

Folk Society is one of the longest running societies at the University. Originally founded as a dancing society, it has broadened to include music and singing with a weekly pub session every Thursday evening! Every Monday we also hold ceilidh dancing and sometimes also calling workshops from 8-10pm, (venue to be confirmed), followed by a social at the Imperial. We also dance rapper, a traditional North-Eastern display dance with swords and last year we even had our team compete at the Dancing England Rapper Tournament (don't ask where we came)! Our ceilidh band, Pigasus, is a lively, upbeat and energetic folk band who play for our regular ceilidhs. The band also play for external gigs and are always happy to play for events elsewhere in the University. We are a welcoming society open to anyone regardless of ability or experience.
