If you can't bring some music, just bring yourself! Whether you come to perform or just to listen, you'll find a Friday night visit to The Croppers is a great way to start your weekend.

there is regrettably no disabled access available.

The CROPPERS is essentially a performers club, (singers, musicians, poets, story tellers etc)

As we have to pay to use the upstairs room in the Star, and we do not charge for entry, all we ask is that you please buy a couple of raffle tickets (for a bottle of wine) in the interval. In doing so you will help to keep the club running. Buying a drink or two will also keep Ian, our excellent landlord, and team happy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

We’re not dead!

This is the kind of thing people put before they disappear, but we are alive and well and to be honest – we’re thriving.

We tend to have “fallow” years in which we play 4 or 5 gigs and then busy years where we do over a dozen. 2023 was a very quiet year. I think we played in public 5 times (Summer fetes, wedding, etc) .

What I don’t do is update this particular page. I update the Music page all the time. We have a very active and private Facebook group for people who actually play in the group.

We still meet every week on odd Wednesdays and Mondays – just to confuse.

Check the calendar to find out when we play and contact me for more details.
