Woolston and Bursledon Folk Club
Welcome to Woolston and Bursledon Folk Club
Welcome to the new website of Woolston and Bursledon Folk Club.
The club is now running on every second Sunday of the month from 7.30pm (Doors open at 7pm). In addition we have occasional extra guest nights on the fourth Sunday of the month.
We meet at The Bursledon Village Hall, Long Lane, Bursledon, Hampshire SO31 8BZ and we aim to start sessions at 7.30pm and go through to 10.45pm.
We are, primarily, a folk club but we do not restrict ourselves to purely ‘traditional’ or ‘contemporary’ folk music. Blues, Country, Music Hall and sometimes even 60s pop may be heard! – indeed, any good acoustic music.
Whether you sing, play an instrument, follow the tradional folk art of story telling or just like to listen, you will be made very welcome by our community of music lovers.
Come experience the warm atmosphere and discover the joy of live acoustic music and the pleasure of joining in the chorus.
As Sam is no longer with us we no longer have a bar so bring your own drinks, please.
Tea and coffee are still available.

On Singaround/Session Nights, Open Stage/’Come all ye’ and 'A Spotlight On.....' evenings there will be a jug collection with a suggested minimum of £3 to cover the cost of the hall and club expenses.

Our club celebrates the rich heritage of folk music, featuring both local and guest performers. Come experience the warm atmosphere and discover the joy of live folk music.

For our first Guest Night of 2025 we have our friend the excellent local singer, songwriter Brian Hooper.
Brian has been on the folk scene around Southampton for more years than he would care to admit and could be called one of the fathers of the local folk scene. Having run the Fo'c'sle Folk Club for many years he performs a great mix of folk, contemporary and self written material. Along with Jeff Henry and Barry Wake he wrote and performed the excellent production 'Lookout' about the ill fated Titanic and it's connection to Southampton. There will also be floor spots for the rest of the evening so it will be a great night!
