Programme

(All days are Mondays unless otherwise stated.)

6 July 09

Musicians' and Singers' night - audience welcome (free admission)

20 July 09

Sandy Brechin and Ewan Wilkinson
Currently touring south of the Border. Sandy’s superb accordion playing combines with Ewan’s excellent guitar playing and singing in a mix of traditional and contemporary folk music.

3 Aug 09

Alan Austen
A mix of traditional and self-penned songs, accompanied by a variety of instruments. A local man from East Malling, Alan has many times visited the club, and never failed to entertain.

21 Sep 09

The Kittiwakes
Kate Denny (violin/vocal), Chris Harrison (accordion) and Jill Cumberbatch (violin/mandolin/banjo). Haunting original songs based on the culture of the Lofoten Islands (Norway) which will, however, strike a chord with lovers of British folk music. Something different!

19 Oct 09

TBA

2 Nov 09

Musicians' and Singers' night - audience welcome (free admission)

16 Nov 09

The Askew Sisters
Emily: Fiddle, backing vocals & cello; Hazel: Vocals & melodeon. Exciting renditions of traditional music from the talented young duo that everyone is talking about.

A hat collection is held on guest nights. A contribution of £5 (or what you can afford) is suggested. (Note: No meetings first Monday in May, third Monday in August or first Monday in October because of clashing with local folk festivals.)

In the old venue with its size limitations, there were serious doubts about the long term viability of the club. However since we moved from the Ivy House to the Rose and Crown, we have been very gratified by the level of support we have received. This is the reason that we have graduated to the larger room for our guest nights in order to avoid overcrowding. Whilst we realise it lacks the intimacy of the smaller room, it is an obvious response to the growth of the club. If you continue to support us in increasing numbers it does give us the confidence to book the sort of guests you would like to hear.
