JOIN THE FOLKMOOT
Folkmoot is an old Anglo Saxon word for a gathering of the people. We have reclaimed it for the Folk Union’s regular online gatherings. It is a chaired, open forum for discussing contemporary folk revival and best practice.
Each Folkmoot begins with a short opening talk, followed by structured discussion and contributions from those attending. The focus is on conversation and shared discussion.
If you would like to chair a future Folkmoot get in touch.
Folkmoot 1:
CURATING FOLK
Chaired by Mike Hankin (OffBeat Folk Film Club)
7pm 9th February 2026 (online)
The first Folkmoot will focus on curating folk in the present moment. As interest in folk culture grows, questions of care, responsibility, and intention become more pressing. What does it mean to curate folk now, and how can the past be drawn on without exploiting it?
The session will be chaired and opened with a short talk to set the context, followed by structured discussion and contributions from those attending. This is a space for shared discussion rather than fixed positions.
Folkmoots are open and conversational.
