Mon 6 Sep 2010: Fiona Larcombe and Terry Mann Welcome return for this duo who made such a good impact last time, and were voted a club favourite! Superb singing of traditional songs accompanied by a variety of instruments. Fiona Larcombe and Terry Mann

Mon 20 Sep 2010: John Kelly "Harmonium Hero". Back on the folk scene after a few years' absence, he specialises in mainly traditional song, accompanied by the harmonium and other instruments. He made a good impression on our audience when he did an extended floor spot at one of our singarounds last year.

Mon 4 Oct 2010: Malcolm Ward Though blessed with a robust 'shanty' voice, Malcolm is also able to deliver tender ballads unaccompanied or with his own concertina accompaniment. He has been known to recite the odd monologue expertly as well. Although one of our residents, this is your chance to hear him do a full set. Malcolm Ward

Mon 18 Oct 2010: Roy Clinging Largely traditional song, in particular from his native Cheshire, accompanied by English concertina and guitar. He was well received at the club last year when he did a floor spot! Roy Clinging

Mon 1 Nov 2010: Trotwood Celtic band consisting of three generations of a French family! Superb renderings of Irish music and song with a variety of instruments, and flawless English. An experience not to be missed. Trotwood

Mon 15 Nov 2010: John Kirkpatrick A legend amongst squeezebox players! Well remembered for his part in the television series The Victorian Farm, now is your chance to see him live in "The Victorian Farmer’s Year in Song". John Kirkpatrick

Mon 6 Dec 2010: Elsie’s Band Long time club favourite, this legendary local band is still celebrating the successful launch of its first album. Good harmony singing both traditional and written by members of the group, with skilled accompaniments by Iris Bishop. Elsie's Band

Forthcoming attractions Mon 7 Feb 2011: Dave Swarbrick
