WE'RE LIVE EVERY THURSDAY: all Nights start at 20:30 (8:30 p.m. in old money)

COVID-19 restrictions have pretty much been lifted, but we would ask people to continue to take reasonable precautions and stay away if they have cold or flu-like symptoms, especially on Guest Nights when we tend to sit a bit closer together.  It's up to you if you want to bring your own mic or wear a mask.

Our Zoom sessions will continue on a monthly basis on the Third Tuesday of the Month:

the next one is on the 17th of September 2024, and it will start at 20:30.

You can join up to 15 minutes beforehand.

Welcome to 2024

2024 began with a visit from Zoom Friend Terry Hiscox, who provided us with excellent entertainment. Next came Seb Stone, followed by George Sansome & Matt Quinn in March. April saw a great performance from Jack Dawgs, followed by a spotlight on Andrew Mckay and Carole Etherton. In May, we had Wynford Jones and Geoff Cripps with an eclectic mix of songs including some from the Chartists' legacy. June brought us Dave Gibb all the way from Bonny Scotland and he entertained us with his unique humour and fablus guitar playing. The stellar performances continued with Jerry French in July. Check out our Facebook page for more detailed reviews of our guests and Singer's Nights. August brought the welcome return of Pete Harris: Sadly without Mick Ryan, who has been advised to stop singing for the time being. Planning for success, we have invited Mick and Pete back next May, by which time Mick should be fully recovered. Not wishing to let us down, Pete brought along Jon Vaughan along and we had a great night.

Autumn brings back to back friends from the North East of England: Tom McConville kicks things off on the 26th of this month, followed by Bob Fox in October.

ZOOMING MARVELLOUS

Through our Zoom sessions, we have made so many new friends that might not have visited the club otherwise.  As a result, we will continue hosting Zoom Sessions, but these will be on the third Tuesday of every month so that they don't interfere with our live sessions.  You can download the Zoom app to pretty much any device.  Click on the button below to download the App for your device from the Zoom website.

Once you have Zoom working on your device, Join us in the meeting room using the number below (no passcode required).  Please Make sure that your Zoom profile lets everyone know who you are and join us about 15 minutes before the Scheduled Start Time to indroduce yourself to Ruth if you wish to perform.  For everyone's benefit, please keep your microphone muted when other people are performing.

If you are joining us after the 8:30 p.m. Start Time, please ensure that you leave your microphone muted to avoid disturbing anyone who is performing at the time you join. We prefer to see everyone's face, but if you are feeling a bit self-conscious, by all means switch off your video feed and just listen.

Please remember that our Thursday Zoom sessions have stopped and there will be nobody online to let you in.
