I might try to make it along this Thursday - it'll be Yorkshire day, so a good opportunity to bust out regional repertoire!


Further to the link above, and for those who haven't been - the Topic, founded in 1956, lays claim to being the oldest extant weekly folk-club in the world;

Usually, it alternates - every other Thursday is a 'Singers & Musicians Night', in a compered, 'singaround' format; depending on attendance it normally gets 2-3 times around the room, with a break for a raffle in the middle. There's a nominal £1 entry fee.

In the alternate weeks, there's usually a booked performer (sometimes 2) in a trad or roots vein. There are normally 1-2 floor spots also available on these nights.There's usually a £6-7 entry fee.

However, the next 4 weeks are all 'Singers & Musicians Nights' - there's no booked performer until 29th Aug, with Caffrey McGurk Madge
