Mon 19 Apr 2010: Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner Always a favourite at the club. Two voices join in superb harmony, with traditional and self-penned songs, both serious and humorous. Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner

Mon 17 May 2010: Sarah McQuaid Currently living in far west Cornwall, but with roots in Ireland and America, her superb voice and guitar playing promises an evening of predominately traditional music. (Photo: Chris Stanbury) Sarah McQuaid

Mon 7 Jun 2010: Pete Coe Multi-instrumentalist, one of the finest performers on the current folk scene with traditional songs augmented by skilfully crafted self-penned ones. Not many singers can sing, play and step-dance simultaneously! Pete Coe

Mon 21 Jun 2010: Bob Kenward One of the best known and most popular singer-songwriters in the south-east, we are lucky to have him as a resident, but he well deserves a full evening of his own from time to time. Nostalgic, humorous and thought provoking songs. Bob Kenward

Mon 5 Jul 2010: Barber & Taylor Well known at clubs and festivals throughout the south east, they specialise in Americana and contemporary folk, with a variety of instruments and voices blending in harmony. Barber & Taylor

Mon 19 Jul 2010: Steve Turner Beautifully crafted vocals, with and without English Concertina or string accompaniment. After some years' absence from the folk scene it is good to welcome him back. He certainly made an impact last time! Steve Turner

Mon 2 Aug 2010: Terrifany (Terry & Stephanie King) Lively talented local performers whose voices blend well. Add some musical input and touches of dry humour and an enjoyable evening is guaranteed.

Mon 16 Aug 2010: Jeff Warner Son of Anne and Frank Warner, who were pioneer collectors, Jeff is well known on both sides of the Atlantic for his well honed performances of traditional American music. An experience not to be missed! (Photo: Peter Heywood) Jeff Warner
