When we meet: 1st & 3rd Wednesday morning every month. Time: 10.30 - 12.00. Refreshments available.

Next Autumn Dates: 30th September, 7th & 21st October, 4th & 18th November, 2nd & 16th December 2026.

We play music together in a group. We support each other to have fun, to learn, to laugh, and to make musical progress. We're a mix of beginner, rusty and experienced players.

We'd love to welcome lots more u3a members who can play recorder, flute, clarinet, oboe, saxophone, whistle, violin, cello, double bass, guitar, mandolin, mouth organ, concertina, melodeon, and maybe a bongo drum or spoons? (no brass)

Where we meet: Beccles Quaker Meeting House (upstairs).

Music: All tunes are in D or G major and include guitar chords. Some tunes have harmony parts. Sheet music and spare music stands are available.

Experience: If you don't play an instrument and would like to join the band, then why not learn to play a penny whistle. A whistle is like a descant recorder in pitch but simpler to learn. It has fewer finger holes. If you are interested, please get in touch, and we will help get you started.

Group History: The Folk Band started in October 2025.
