On Friday 29 September at 7.30 pm we are very pleased to be welcoming Canadian singer songwriter and guitarist Dan McKinnon to the club. Dan has been performing for over thirty years – it was hearing Stan Rogers’ music in 1979 that first encouraged him to start, and the importance of that influence can still be felt in his own songs. 

Dan ‘blessed with a gorgeous baritone voice and an exceptional command of phrasing, light and shade’ (David Kidman, The Living Tradition) continues to convey his finely crafted songs to audiences through his yearly tours in the UK and performances in and around the Canadian Maritimes.

Tickets (£13 non-members, £10 club members) can be reserved by emailing us via the contact page. Bring your own drinks – teas and coffee are available in the kitchen for 50p.  There is some parking for early arrivers – otherwise please park in nearby streets.
