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

5th March featuring Alex & Tommy MacDonald plus floor spots

Hi all,

Unfortunately, Tom McConville has had to cancel his appearance at Tooting Folk on 5th March.

As such, dragged kicking and screaming at short notice, Alex and his brother Tommy are going to step in as the featured slot for this month!

Alex and Tommy have, for almost two decades, performed a wide variety of music – blues, jazz, country, ragtime, bluegrass, as well as traditional music from Scotland, Ireland, Spain, America, Turkey, Jamaica, England, Trinidad and god knows where else.

In the last few years they have grudgingly managed to put aside their mutual suspicion and play as a duo! On guitar, banjo, saz, accordian, tin whistle and anything else they can carry, they plunge into hundreds of years of musical history from around the world to keep the old traditions alive.

Hope you can all still come!

As always, there will be floor spots for those who want to sing a song, perform a tune or play the spoons.

Those who want to perform should come along at 7:30pm to put your name on the list.

Doors 7:30pm. Music starts at 8pm. Entry £5 on the door (cash only – no pre-booking, sorry!)

Upstairs at the Gorringe Park, 29 London Road, Tooting, SW17 9JR
See y’all there!

Any queries, call/message 07375481959 (Sarah) or 07951163434 (Alex)
