The warm and welcoming Southeastern Gathering returns, inviting everyone to lose themselves in the rare sounds of acoustic music, from bluegrass to Irish trad and old-time, with artists from Thailand<\/a> and around the world performing across six full days, <\/span>October 20-25<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n There’s a reason the last edition sold out fast. Capped at just 100 people, this is folk music at its most intimate, the sort of close-quarters affair where you can watch a picker’s fingers move and catch every last grace note. Workshops, jams, tunes and late-night sessions unfold at a human scale, and the line between performer and punter blurs pleasingly as the week wears on.<\/span><\/p>\n Proceedings open with The Pickin’ Parlour, three upstairs nights from Tuesday to Thursday, each one built around a single player, instrument or theme, with city views framing the room. Full bills and tickets surface closer to the date. The weekend proper then takes hold from Friday: a loose Welcome Jam and Free Flow to break the ice, a marathon Saturday and a gentler Sunday of Songs & Stories served alongside brunch.<\/span><\/p>\n Expect banjos, fiddles, mandolins, guitars, flutes, harps, voices and stories, played by musicians steeped in these traditions for a Bangkok<\/a> roots crowd that grows a little bigger every year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Bluegrass](\"https:\/\/media.timeout.com\/images\/106418430\/image.webp\" "\\"\\"")
