At Blackfriars Theatre, the New Tricks group call themselves the Friars Folly, and meet on Fridays (2pm-4.30pm) to practice their blues and folk music.

Nicola Stanton, the soundLINCS programme development officer, said: “Friars Folly are a vibrant group of friendly musicians and singers.

“Friars Folly use a range of instruments and vocal styles to bring to life some true classics and I can see and hear that all the participants get a lot from these sessions.”

The group are proud that as a constituted group they have been able to secure some funding to help them cover the cost of the sessions.
