Folk in the Cellar

2nd & 4th Mondays in the month. Folk in the Cellar is an inclusive and eclectic folk club, with an emphasis on everyone joining in.

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month (except August and Christmas week). Our nights take place at the fabulous MAP Studio Cafe in Kentish Town. £5 cash donation requested, so we can pay our guest artists. Most evenings feature an extended set from a guest artist or group, but half of the evening is open to anyone to share a song, a tune, a poem…… Some evenings are singarounds, where th

e audience is the star attraction. We’re not dogmatic about genre, but we are completely unplugged. And we do not talk while people are performing, though joining in is usually welcome! Coming up:

In case you miss singing our traditional closer during our August break, you could do worse than sing along with this lot - stunning harmonies, particularly the Wainwrights’ third verse

Our Story

This page is dedicated to our shared love of Folk and Roots music at the Constitution public house in London's famous Camden Town. The cosy cellar bar of The Constitution is home to one of London’s favourite folk and roots music venues. Every 2nd and 4th Monday, musicians and fans of live, acoustic music head for this traditional pub on the Regents Canal in Camden. “Folk in the Cellar” has been run since 2007, at first by London Celtic band, The Northern Celts, and it has gone from strength to strength. On at least one of the evenings, usually the 4th, we have a special guest artist as well as regular floor spots. On other occasions we have a “singaround” when everyone takes turns to contribute a tune or a song. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with a fondness between musicians, notable particularly in the regular “session” at the end of each club night, when many musicians join together to share great music. Folk in the Cellar has played host to musicians from countries around the world playing from their traditions as well as contemporary music. It is a great place for singer-songwriters to come and showcase their material and for instrumentalists to play tunes or accompany singers. Folk in the Cellar is one of the vibrant forums keeping live acoustic music alive in London. Long may it thrive.
