Based in Southend on Sea, Essex, UK  we specialise in British traditional folk music but include music from other cultures in our programmes.  We operate on a charitable basis with a form of constitution  approved by the Charity Commission.  Members are unpaid.

We have our own interactive group website at http://groups.google.co.uk/group/yardfolk and most information about us can be obtained from there.  Our email address is yardarmfolkorchestra@yahoo.co.uk

The YFO is presented by the TTAA  from which you will learn more about all the other activities presented by the Association - most of which involve YFO members.  The website is http://www.thettaa.btik.com/home.ikml

Specialising in promoting mainly British traditional folk music by performance and education.

Practices and Other Activities

Practices are held on the third Monday of each month, 7.45pm to 10.00pm at the Trinity Methodist Church hall, Corner London Road and Argyll Road, Westcliff on Sea, Essex.  Other activities will be notified on the scrolling banner above this page.  Commencing 26th April 2010, additional practice will take place on the 4th Monday of every month.  That is in addition to the 3rd Monday.

We have no connection with the church other than hiring their hall.
