I hope this finds you well. The folk club is going really well with highly appreciative audiences enjoying some top quality folk acts. December is very busy for us starting with the excellent BARRON BRADY on Friday 3rd. This young duo comes highly recommended so do come along and support them.

Our next event is THE ANNUAL VILLAGE PUMP NIGHT FOR DOROTHY HOUSE AT THE ARC THEATRE. The title is almost as long as the list of ‘turns’ we have lined up for this very special night for a very worthy cause. The following have agreed to attend, HALL & CO., MERV GRIST, MIKE SCOTT, PETE MACGREGOR, ROSIE UPTON, SANDY & GRAHAM BALL, SID BLOOMFIELD, THE OLD WILL FOLK ENTERTAINERS COMPANY, THE SILVER STREET BAND AND THE YIRDBARDS. I think that there are only a few seats left so give the ARC box office a ring (0845-2990476) if you want to attend.
