The Folk Club

Mitcheldean Folk Club is a diverse group of men and women of all ages who meet regularly in the White Horse pub to share a range of music, songs and poetry from around the world.

Another session of the Mitcheldean Folk Club in full swing.

The regular meetings on the second Thursday of every month are informally led by Andy Scarf, and everyone takes a turn (some as individuals, others in groups) to present a new or old piece of music or recite a poem.

Themes are a mixture of old and new folk songs, comic songs and monologues, chorus numbers and even re-worked pop songs and television signature tunes. The session starts at 8:00pm and participants are advised to arrive early to be sure of getting a seat
