forge & fledge

Forge & Fledge is for nurturing new and experienced adult musicians.
​
There are two branches – the first is a safe space to encourage singers to find their voice, led by Rosie Hodgson. The group explores all aspects of traditional song and builds confidence with technique and repertoire.

The second branch provides artistic development for musicians led by tutor Rosie Butler-Hall, honing their musicianship and performance in a group setting.
