About the club
The club meets every Friday from 8.30 to 11.30 pm at the the Christ Church Centre on Magdalen Road (NR3 4LA), opposite the Whalebone pub. There is a large car park in front of the Centre and it is on regular bus routes (18, 21/22). Guest nights are in the main hall and singarounds usually in an upstairs room.
Friday singarounds, a mix of acoustic styles
We have a weekly singaround, hosted by a club MC, with a wide mixture of tunes and songs. Entry is free and we welcome all performers – there is no need to reserve a slot. Our definition of ‘folk’ is broad and we appreciate every contribution. But there is no pressure to take part – we also welcome everyone who enjoys listening to live acoustic music. Themed evenings crop up every so often as an extra challenge!
Showcase nights
The popular free showcase nights give invited performers a chance to spread their wings in a couple of longer spots within the singaround.
Guest nights
We book a variety of well known and up-and-coming local, national and international performers on a monthly basis and make a reasonable charge for those nights, with reductions for club members. Current ticket price for members is usually £5 (£8 for non-members).
Membership
Membership runs from AGM to AGM (usually a date in mid-February) and is due for 2010-11. The revised fee is £10. Join by contacting the membership secretary on any club night.

In the chair and treasurer Fred Brown; secretary Bridget Lely; assistant secretary Judy Bedder; lay members Keith Ellison, Keith Garnham, Brian O’Neill, Caroline Peel, Des Veness, Kelly Woods
