Lancaster Youth Folk Ensemble

Lancaster Youth Folk Ensemble welcomes young instrumentalists and singers interested in exploring folk tunes from all over the UK with a focus on music from the communities of Lancashire.

The Lancaster Youth Folk Ensemble is a regular gathering of young musicians who share a passion for playing, arranging and researching traditional music – particularly music sourced from across our historic County of Lancashire.

We aim to highlight Lancashire’s musical heritage with an ensemble of talented young folk musicians while also providing a gateway for newcomers to come and learn more about traditional music.

Whether you are an interested beginner or have plenty of experience with traditional music, we’d be very keen to hear from you!

We are especially keen to hear from musicians who play instruments rooted in the folk tradition (fiddle/violin, flute, whistle, guitar, mandolin, banjo etc.) though all are welcome and there are plenty of singing opportunities during our rehearsals and performances too.

The incredible Broadfield Specialist school show the impact and reach of using Ableton Push 2 and Live in their curriculum and setting. In this short video, teachers Danny and Ste offer insights into how this amazing equipment has changed their music curriculum, offer some tips and we see Ableton and Push 2 in action.

Lancashire Music Service is proud to have an innovative partnership with Ableton, enabling us to provide Secondary, Specialist Schools and PRUs with Ableton Push 2 and Live Licences at no cost to schools. This enables music technology to be a core part of any music curriculum removing barriers and improving acess for young people across the county.
