Some people come to festivals to listen and head straight for the marquee.
But if you like to take a more active part in providing the music, then head
for the Family Room at the front of the pub where the Sessions will be
taking place. We have a tradition at Wittfest of "Themed Sessions", so
you can indulge in your favourite brand of music along with other enthusiasts,
but there will also be time available for Unthemed Sessions where "anything goes".

with John
Folk ballads are sung narrative, poems that tell stories.
Ballad's emphasize strong rhythms, repetition of key
phrases, and rhymes. If you hear a traditional ballad,
you will know that you are hearing a voice reciting to
a live audience. This session gives you time and space
to perform these wonderful pieces.

Concern Singing
with Rachel
Two years ago, this was one of the charity organisations
supported by Wittfest. They turned up in vast numbers
and full of enthusiasm and sat out in the sunshine in the
front garden of The Plough. They got us (and several
passers-by too!) all singing our hearts out. Since then they
have become part of the festival and we are delighted to
welcome them back once again this year. Come and sing
with them at this session.
