Deptford Folk Night – 27th June with Rhiannon Carr plus floor spots!

Hi all,

We’re still folking along come this 27th June!

Our featured act this month will be Rhiannon Carr – a writer, actor and musician from southeast London, Rhiannon is heavily influenced by country and folk, but with a punk rock approach to playing guitar, her music has been described as “exploring what it means to be a solitary woman in the vast no-man’s-land between youth and old age.”

There will also be plenty of slots available for anyone who wants to sing a song, play a tune, do a dance or read a poem – all acoustic and unamplified in true folk club style, of course!

Although entry is free, we have a suggested donation of £5 if you like what you hear.

Things will kick off from around 7:30, but would recommend turning up from around 7 if you want to secure a floor spot.

Look forward to seeing you all there!

Alex, Martin & Sarah

Tooting Folk: update

Hi all,

So, we are sad to announce that we are going to be putting Tooting Folk on indefinite hiatus.

We were looking forward to hosting events over the next few months but unfortunately due to issues with the venue we won’t be able to now.

Myself and Sarah no longer live in Tooting or anywhere near Tooting and it has already been a lot of work trying to keep the night going from so far away over the past few years. Combined with the impact of Covid-19 and the struggle to get enough money to pay the acts properly, we don’t think we can keep it going.

We will hopefully be opening a new folk night somewhere closer to where we live in Lewisham, so please do keep an out for that. Also, if anyone would like to take over Tooting Folk and continue running it somewhere in Tooting please do get in touch.

As it stands, however, we’ve enjoyed hosting the events in the Selkirk and the Gorringe Park and it’s a pity we have to draw it to a close. Thanks to everyone who came along to listen and perform and all the featured acts!

Hopefully see you all soon in a different setting!

Alex & Sarah
