SING FOLK
This month we will be visited by the Coat of Hopes. After 1,800 miles of travelling around the UK, the Coat of Hopes arrives at Folkestone museum on Sunday 29th June at 1.30pm. It will be on display at Folkestone Museum through July and Aug. and take part in Sing Folk on 22nd July. So this month's challenge is to bring a song which fits in with the themes of long journeys, pilgrimage, the environment, nature. We will also be singing the Coat's very own song, hear it here: https://www.coatofhopes.uk/song
