James Cannon came on Monday looking for a fiddle player for his band;
"Fiddle Player needed urgently for Irish Folk Band - Playing Dubliners/Pogues material, Gigs Booked for Feb/ March and European Gigs later in Year - Contact James Cannon- email me at barnsley folk club for his number"Email us



2006 was cracking year for the club, we had as booked guests -Steve Tilston, Judy Cook, FYRISH, McFolk, John Conoly, James Meadows, Zoe Bottomley, Leon O'Doherty, Donal O'Connor, Dave Webber and Anni Fentiman, Maurice Condie and Gillian Tolfrey, not forgetting the Dick Gaughan ell out at the Keel;

Loads of people were 'just passing' (too many to mention, but including Mary Humphries and Anahata and a rare folk club performance from a well known songwriter), The pre-club music session is still going from strength to strength, and we had a couple of special events - the Easter Singaround, a showcase at Dirty O'Dwyers in Barnsley town cente on the Summer Solstice and a charity night-part of the nationally organised OXJAM, which raised £115 for Oxfam.

Thanks for you support over 2006, looking forward to 2007,
