Shooting Roots
Empowering Youth Through English Folk Arts
Shooting Roots is an organisation offering workshops for 12-17 year olds at folk festivals across the UK. For 30 years our team of talented tutors have specialized in tutoring music, dance, craft, theatre, ceilidh skills, and storytelling.
Over the years Shooting Roots has also run residentials, organised ceilidhs, and been involved in as many folky activities as we've been able. If you want us for anything folk related, youth related, or (even better) youth folk related, we'll do our best to be there.
As an organisation we are volunteer-led, recruiting our tutors at the beginning of each year. We are always keen to hear from new potential tutors, so if you think this is for you, get in touch and we'll make sure you know when recruitment starts.
