Vic Folk started in 2017 with the aim of giving students at Victoria University of Wellington access to opportunities to learn, play, dance and listen to traditional music. The club is particularly focused on participatory events: sessions and ceilidhs are at the heart of what they do. Last year’s ceilidhs attracted big audiences, with a high level of participation from students and young people, often new to traditional music.

Vic Folk will be hosting the Friday night ceilidh, running a workshop on “Let’s make a Ceilidh”- how to set up and call for the dances – and playing for a late night dance after the concert on Sunday evening.
