The Sage Gateshead
The Sage Gateshead's Folkworks programme aims to develop interest and practical involvement in traditional music, song and dance. This is done through various activities, including unique performances, one-day workouts, weekly classes, weekend courses and three week-long Summer Schools, for all ages.Folkworks was established in 1988 by Ros Rigby OBE and Alistair Anderson, and quickly became England's leading folk music development agency. Folkworks was a lead partner in the development of The Sage Gateshead and is now fully integrated into its management structure.
