Traditional Music and Song at Tonbridge Folk Club (Nellies)

In view of the Government recommendation not to participate in gatherings such as ours, we have taken the decision to close the club until further notice. We regret this, but feel that under the circumstances it would be irresponsible to continue.

We are leaving the programme on the website in the hope that we can resume it as soon as it is safe to do so. We will issue an email bulletin as and when this occurs, so you may wish to sign up for this at the foot of this page.

We of course regret the effect this will have on our venue and the many others affected, and hope it will not be too long lasting. Stay safe and we hope to see you when the club resumes.

A welcome return to the club with a mix of folk, music hall and theatre, with sharp commentary on many contemporary issues. Sandra’s beautifully clear voice is ably complemented by Steve’s guitar playing and song writing skills. Skinner & T’witch

Mon 20 Jul 2020 – Martin Ledner  

A writer and performer of thought-provoking folk songs, ballads and shanties in the traditional style, but very much relevant to the present day. Martin Ledner

Mon 3 Aug 2020 – Malcolm Ward

One of our residents well known on the folk circuit, particularly for his sea songs, Malcolm is a man of many parts, and his songs range from shanties to tender ballads skilfully performed with or without the concertina.

Mon 17 Aug 2020 – Ian Petrie

Well known on the local folk circuit, Ian performs traditional and self-penned songs, sometimes amusing and thought provoking, with skilled guitar accompaniment. Ian Petrie

Making a welcome return to the club. A legend on both sides of the Atlantic, Jeff carries on the tradition of his family with his collection and portrayal of Americana at its best. Jeff Warner

Mon 21 Sep 2020 – Miriam Erasmus

Beautiful clear singing of both traditional and modern folksong accompanied or acapella, where you can here every word, encourages enthusiastic audience participation in choruses. Welcome return of a lovely lady.
