FolkArts England Education Advisory Group
FolkArts England has a very wide brief in developing folk, roots and traditional music throughout England. One particular strand that is at the root of long-term future is folk in education. The staff within our ranks clearly can’t be experts in everything and to this end FolkArts England formed an Education Advisory Group made up of people with a deep interest in folk music and a vast amount of experience in the education world. These range from current teachers, ex-teachers, educational admin staff and advisors. They meet from time to time to help guide policy and projects within our work.

Bev Langton – Ex teacher, now education advisor, senior role.
David Faulkner – Administrator and community arts organiser for Wren Music
