Filk programme
Long past are the days when filk was being secretly (and by some accounts, loudly) sung in hotel rooms and corridors, with silly words to folky tunes. If you come along to the filk stream at Loncon 3, you will be able to hear smooth jazz, blood-pumping rock, beautiful choral arrangements, and everything in between. This is where to go to see and hear professional musicians, soon to be professional musicians and enthusiastic amateurs coming together for the love of music and of speculative fiction.
We are already assembling an exciting programming track, and are planning some fantastic concerts. In fact, one of those fantastic concerts could even feature... you! It will be possible to ask for a full concert or, if you aren't as confident, you can sign up at the con for a slot in the main concert. For the filk fans who aren’t performers, and those who want to learn more, come join the fun in the audience to enjoy the performances!
And don’t forget there’ll be music programme items too, to allow for discussions as well as performance.
