Havering Folk Club meets at The Golden Lion, 2 High St., Romford, RM1 1HR. Romford's most historic building, having once belonged to Sir Francis Bacon, who many believe wrote the Shakespeare plays. It has an attractive, beamed room with excellent acoustics in which we meet, serves a choice of three well-kept real ales and also serves food. There is ample safe, free parking in the market place.

In July we have two members' featured evenings. The first on Wednesday 2nd when the ever-popular Hillbilly Express take the stage.

Then on Wednesday 16th Mikanora will appear along with their new band Balgores. We've only seen this line up once before for a two-song floor spot, so a longer performance is something to look forward to.

 

Balgores - Mick Turner, Nora Kelson, Paulette Luff, Jem Bowden

 

Guest artists on August 6th will be Steve O'Kane and Fiona McBain. Another superb evening should be in store. Visit www.steveokane.co.uk to find out more.

On November 19th our guest artist is Tom Bliss. Many of you may have caught his gig at the recent Leigh Folk Festival and so know what he's all about. If not, go to www.turnstone.tv for more information plus audio/video downloads

Finally, on December 17th we will have Sue, Mim and Sophie, otherwise known as Triangle as our guests. Hugely popular at Havering with their superb harmony singing, they'll be joining us for our Christmas dinner beforehand as well. For those who've not had the pleasure of hearing them, go to www.trianglemusic.info for more information and audio samples.

"I travel the country a great deal and always look on the web to find a folk club or music session close to my hotel. So I have visited dozens during the past few years and without doubt the friendliest is Havering FC. I knew 5 people by name before I sat down with my pint. Excellent night - keep up the good work!"  Mike Lydiatt - Sheffield 

I must say, I was incredibly impressed with the breadth of music you guys delivered.  If anyone was looking for a definition of "eclectic", I think I would have to point them to a club which can cover everything from George Formby to Ralph Vaughan Williams in the space of two and a
half hours!
Ah, that would be Havering Folk Club, then!
Thanks very much for having us, and we look forward to coming again soon. Sue, Mim & Sophie aka
Triangle www.trianglemusic.info

Whether you're a singer, instrumentalist, poet, band or simply want to hear some good music and have a great time, come along any Wednesday - you'll be made very welcome.
