  • We always have loads of performers so a packed and varied night is guaranteed, with more than a little humour.

  • Entry is always free (but contributions to a charity raffle are warmly encouraged).

  • Anyone can have a go – songs, tunes, dances, readings or any other performance in reasonably good taste – and there is often a theme for the evening.

  • Mega-stars are always welcome, but so are complete novices, and all performers get the same fee (£0).

  • A team of seven individuals or couples take it in turns to compere the sessions in their own individual styles.

Acoustic Folk Night – Remembering Steve Boyer @ Bedworth Folk Club
Apr 26 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

As many of you will know we lost a real stalwart of the Coventry & Warwickshire folk scene Stephen Boyer recently, Steve along with Steve Redshaw was due to do a feature/showcase spot at Bedworth Folk Clubs Singers Night in April (26th) as Steve2 so we are instead going ahead with a “Remembering Steve Boyer” evening which will feature pre-booked floor spots first half and Steve Redshaw leading a 45 minute session dedicated to Stephen Boyer in the second half.

We will be trying to raise a bit of dosh for a favourite charity of Steve’s on the evening so it will be the usual FREE admission and raffle (yes we would love raffle donations) with a Bank Notes collection for charity. If you want a spot PM us asap as I am sure there will be quite a demand for spots

Free admission – jug collection
