The Drill-Hall 'do' is called 'Drill-Hall Unplugged' which takes place once a month on the 3rd Monday. It's not a Folk night, it's all kinds of acoustic music - a lot of Boy-Band/James Blunt Wannabes get up there - but there is some Folk (not just me!). Performers get one ten-minute spot and they're STRICT about not over-running. There's just about time for two short-ish songs. Try to get a third song in and you will be rugby-tackled off the stage (even worse than Villan's shepherd's crook! LOL!). Get there no later than 7-30, otherwise all the spots will have gone.

Also an Open-Mic across the road at the Jolly Brewer, Broadgate, Lincoln, every Wednesday night. Starts around 8.30 - 9.00 pm, but be there early to book a 2-song spot. Again, not just Folk, lots of Wannabes, but there is a bit of Folk.
