Horsley Hill, South ShieldsAbout the night
Weekly folk club meeting on Sunday evenings, 7pm for a 7.30 start. Very much a singing club that encourages chorus participation and welcomes blues and contemporary folk singers. The club says it will always try to accommodate visiting singers or musicians, even on guest nights. Programme is dated through to 2027. It is a folk club with guest artists rather than a pure open mic, so treat as a singaround or floor-spot night.
