Woolston and Bursledon Folk Club 40th Anniversary Year
Welcome to Woolston and Bursledon Folk Club
Welcome to the 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.
ENTRANCE FEES
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.
On Guest nights we suggest a minimum of £5.
For national artists a higher fee may be charged but will be published prior to the event.
Join us for a night of traditional folk music at the Bursledon Village Hall. We meet every second Sunday of the month from 7:30pm to 10:45pm, we are a welcoming community of music lovers. 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.

Sue harris and hilary ward 25th april
Sue and Hils were drawn together by their love of harmonies, stories and prosecco.
They have been friends for many years and performers in their own right and the time
was right five years ago to begin collecting songs that they could perform together.
Sue and Hils were drawn together by their love of harmonies, stories and prosecco.
They have been friends for many years and performers in their own right and the time
was right five years ago to begin collecting songs that they could perform together.
These range from sad to silly and traditional to contemporary, reflecting stories from the
world around us. Their repertoire includes some of Sue’s own songs some of which
have been taken up by other performers in the folk world.
With a string of performances at Folk Clubs and Festivals around the UK they are open
to invitation via their website www.hilaryward.co.uk
