Eric, Eileen and the gang are back with their latest play. Expect songs, stories and musical sketches about what goes on in the rustic environment of allotments both past and present, with plenty of audience participation. As this performance uses about a dozen people including lights and props it curtails the amount of room we have, so come early as the last show was a sell out.

We welcome back Hissyfit for their second visit to the club. Hazel Richings and Linda Kelly, are based near Hull, and have been singing together for about 14 years. Linda also writes songs as well as collecting stories about the lives of the people involved in the fishing industry around the Humber which they have added to their repertoire. She is delighted that her songs have been absorbed into the folk scene and are recorded by other artists.

Tuga Tribe are Miguel Quintero (bagpipes and flutes) & Andres Fuzeiro (percussion) and hail from Lisbon . They  sing & play traditional Portuguese tunes on pipes and side drum as well as repertoire from the UK and the rest of Europe too; Miguel plays Gallician and Irish pipes as well, and Andres is a wizard on just about every form of percussion I've ever seen.

Matthew price and Nathalie Fischer (Ireland, somewhere in County Clare...) sing and play folk and blues.Looking for common narratives in songs (Hard Times of Old England/Hard Time Killing Floor Blues for example), and imagining how songs that didn't reach the States may have sounded if they had. We  also sing unaccompanied trad stuff from our respective backgrounds (Cecilia Costello/George Dunn/Albert Shaw etc for Matthew and Irish trad for Nath)

Come along and support young folk students from Newcastle University.

We welcome back Sara Gray to the club. You can’t fail to admire her empathy with a club audience. Come and be captivated by her songs, and superb banjo playing. She has a wealth of knowledge to impart about the songs and tunes that crossed the Atlantic to become part of American folklore. Listen out for her stories and humour.
