Sat 5 Nov: Folk Music from the British Isles We’re back on British soil with a jammed-pack session exploring folk music from the British Isles. Home is where the heart is – and for Project Jam Sandwich's Scottish violinist Katie Foster, that very much means rapid reels and ceilidh dancing. She will take you through the music and dances of this fantastic world as well as hopping around the rest of the UK to explore what the Welsh, English and Irish also get up to. Plus learn all about the giant double bass with Ali McMath – the largest string instrument of them all! Sat 3 Dec: African Drumming and Singing In the final session of 2016, we explore the wonderful music and languages of Africa.

Then get drumming on the djembes – time to make lots of noise and learn amazing rhythms for a super funky morning!
