Folk musicians! Looking to indulge your secret electronic side? Well now's your chance.
As part of English Folk Expo's Folk Talk Academy Students' Union, we're hosting The Electronic Folk Club. We're asking you to arrange a traditional folk song using one or more modern electronic production techniques. We’re interested in how you use these techniques to tell a story, so whether you’re a production newbie or a seasoned studio pro, it’s all the same to us.
