Join Roary Skaista at Curio Books + Culture for a free songwriting workshop and performance!

This will be an inclusive and queer-led songwriting workshop to reinterpret existing folk songs, or write your own to include new perspectives. Followed by a relaxed open stage performance with the option to share these and other new songs.

Key details:

* Participants are welcome to attend just the workshop (4pm-6pm), the performance (7pm-9pm), or both
* Free non-alcoholic drinks and snacks will be provided, with food and drink also available to buy from the cafe upstairs. Or you are welcome to bring your own
* Please be aware that Curio is located downstairs, meaning unfortunately there is no wheelchair access. We apologise to anyone this affects

This event is run by Roary Skaista in collaboration with Access Folk: https://accessfolk.sites.sheffield.ac.uk/activities/small-projects
