Our events at a glance
Contemporary folk nights, on the first Wednesday of the month. The music start at 8.00 pm and continues till 10.30 pm with a mid-evening break
On these evenings, we provide an MC but no PA – performances are unplugged. We usually ask artists to perform a total of three or four songs, tunes or items. There may be some flexibility at the discretion of the MC, but we will usually ask you to give two of your pieces in each half of the evening.
There may be opportunities for performers from the floor to provide a song or two – and we may invite booked-in performers to play more pieces if there is time, so have an extra tune or two ready.
