Welcome to the website of Stockton Folk Club. We're a friendly club that believes in participation, not just listening. So, come and join in some rousing choruses. A typical evening begins at around 8 p.m. with an instrumental session or "knurdle" when our regulars work their way through some well-tried tunes: anyone is welcome to join in and add to the repertoire. Then from about 8.45 we start singing...... We aim to have guest-nights twice a month: other Mondays are "singarounds" (see What's on). At a singaround everyone is encouraged to get up and sing, play a tune, recite, clog dance or whatever they want to do, provided it falls under the wide umbrella of folk. But don't worry, nobody is coerced into getting up, and we have a healthy core of talented performers to ensure an entertaining night. On a guest night, floor spots are limited: if you are visiting and want to perform, catch the M.C. early -- you may still be restricted to one song! In
the back room of the Sun Inn, we are blessed with excellent acoustics,
a folk-friendly landlord, and some very good hand-pulled Bass! If you
haven't been for a while, you'll find that the room has been seriously
spruced up! We celebrated the 40th anniversary of our
moving to the Sun on 22nd March 2010.
Entry costs are typically £4 on a guest night (£3 members); £1 on a singaround. Come along and join in! On the first Tuesday of each month there is a music session with the emphasis on learning new tunes. Thanks to all who helped make the Club's 50th Anniversary party a nightto remember. See the gallery page for a link to pictures from the event.
