Nerd's Tip!

If you are looking for a specific venue or activity, (I personally tend to go to Singer's Nights as I like to sing), here's the fast way of searching: On your keyboard, hold down Ctrl+F, and you will see a search box.

As dates and details are supplied by clubs and organisers, or via facebook/websites (most have links/contact details on the Club directory)

Diary dates are NOT guaranteed. If you want to be sure that club is running/event is on, then confirm with the club contact(s).

If the listing has a STRIKETHROUGH then the club is closed on that date.

We have supplied as much contact detail as possible, and for those not on Facebook, sorry, however, websites, tel no and emails supplied are available for you.

We cannot be held responsible for wasted journeys.

It's best to check before you travel

Some people ask me what the difference is between a Folk Club and a Buskers Night.

Both equally fun, but the clubs tend to have a code of conduct as below:

REMEMBER CLUB ETIQUETTE

Please pay respect for one another...
Leave your Ego at the door
Entering and leaving the room whilst someone is performing is very off putting - please try not to (emergencies accepted :)
Don't join in with others unless they are happy for you to do so.
Don't talk whilst someone is performing
Sleeping is OK if you're very old - but NO Snoring)
Treat one another as you would like to treated yourself (Unless you're a masochist)
NO Vaping! It dries singers' throats out!
Ask permission to film
