Be heard - come and sing, play, tell a story or poem - or just enjoy listening!  Beautiful half timbered surroundings with lovely acoustics

Bring your own drinks and a smile!

We are a friendly and welcoming club and have a relatively small but quiet, comfortable and atmospheric half timbered room that is part of the 'Fold' -  a community  enterprise with all aspects of sustainable living at it's heart. 'The Fold' is in a beautiful location and is easily accessible to all. There are excellent parking facilities,

 

The club runs from 8.30 to 11pm every 4th Saturday with occasional special nights on other dates (see programme below). Entry to the usual club night costs £2. You are invited to bring your own drinks but tea / coffee is available throughout the evening.

 

All folk styles are encouraged. Performers are given respect, attention and warm support, they may choose to entertain from 'the floor' or from 'the front'. Sensitive accompaniment from 'house' musicians is welcomed when appropriate.

 

Our audiences will share a lively and varied evening of song, music, poetry and stories with the opportunity to join in, or just listen - among friends.

 

We present infrequent, high quality concerts. Folk play and ballad documentary presentations are of particular interest to us and involvement of local performers is  sought and encouraged.(see Folk Concert page for details of our next concert.)

 

We also encourage and facilitate the recording of locally produced music and song and promote CD sales.

'Four at the Fold'

 

Time usually prevents us from seeing as much as we would like from some performers........so three times a year we ask audiences to nominate their favourite 'Acts'. Their choices are subsequently 'drawn' and the 'winning' nominee(s) then have the opportunity for an extended performance of four 'pieces' or approximately 15 minutes to entertain.
