CLUB SUSPENDED
With great regret we have to announce that in light of the current public health crisis we have decided to suspend the club for the time being.
This isn't a decision we have taken lightly and we're pretty heartbroken about it but we decided it was the only responsible thing to do under the circumstances.
We had hoped to be back in action for our Autumn season, but we will now be closed for the forseeable future. Check here and on our website for updates.
We hope all our friends and supporters stay safe and healthy and we'll look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Please help our home during these wretched times, or there won't be a folk club to come back...

Sorry everybody, but due to poor health this Sunday's concert with Wizz Jones is cancelled.
Advance tickets will be refunded.
We'll have a singaround instead - bring an tune or a song. Admission free.
A quick note that due to an admin SNAFU on our part some people might think Jack Rutter is playing tomorrow night.
Sadly that isn't the case but we'll get him along soon.
Sorry for the c**k up, Jack!
