The Night
A long running folk and acoustic club meeting fortnightly on Tuesday evenings at the Rugby West Indian Association. Most nights are booked guest artists, so the open floor dates are the club's Singer's Nights, which appear roughly every six weeks on the published programme. Singer's Nights on the current 2026 programme are 25 August and 6 October. Start time and admission are not published on the club website, so check its Facebook group before travelling.
