DarlingtonAbout the night
Darlington Folk Acoustic Club meets at the Rolling Mills Club on Longfield Road on the SECOND and FOURTH Thursday of each month. Doors are from 7.30pm and the singaround / open mic itself starts at 8pm; on guest nights, when a booked act headlines, the start is 7.45pm instead. All abilities are welcome and the format is a singaround, so you are as likely to be asked for an unaccompanied song or a poem as for a guitar set. Still listed in the Folk Roundabout club directory for the North East.
