Why the move?

The pub shut!

It is possibly a temporary measure, however, they say 4 pubs a day are shutting in England this year.
We have not managed to contact the landlord yet to find out the reason, its all locked up.

On the up side, there are many "Real Ales" at the Fernandez Brewery Tap and a nice atmosphere to boot.

Thanks for the advert Sarah.

Barnsley has got some very good singers and musicians Ray for one. He is a regular contributor at Wakefield Folk Club and proved on the 5th that he is getting his voice back.

More power to Dave Nuttalls elbow I say!!

Your grasp of technology is much greater than mine. I am sure the map will be of great use to all.

If anyone needs to park then get on to Thornhill Street Then Trinity Church gate and there are car parks quite near the Pub.

is this a open session or the more formal folk club style? can't do with being shushed whilst being bored stupid with Matty Groves LOL

Date: 17 Oct 08 - 05:15 AM

If I could answer your question fully Squeezeboxkc, we like to think that it is neither a singaround nor a session, everyone is welcome and if they feel a song or a tune coming on, just dive in - don't wait to be asked! It has been like that since way back in 0'Donoghue's days and it seems to work

Subject: RE: Wakefield Folk Club , Change of Venue
From: Dennis the Elder
Date: 17 Oct 08 - 06:27 AM

Just to add, the music is a mix of singing and tunes with squeeze boxes, whistles, guitars etc. It is not structured or formal and has no M.C., there is no need as people generally offer hospitality and reasonable order for singers or tunes.

It is still a local's pub, however, and silence cannot be expected or guaranteed. It is usually a pleasant afternoon with friendly people and a mixure of music and styles. All are welcome.

I think it is true to say that contrary to many gatherings musicians and singers get along very well and respect is given to singers old and new as well as old and new musicians

there are some brill musicians who don't sing and some musicians who sing and play ~ behave and Dave Nuttall won't sit on yer!

Interpret Old and and New as you will!!

Just in case there has been any misunderstanding, Dave has pointed out that there is also a "Wakefield Folk Club" which still operates at the Black Horse, Westgate Wakefield.

The changes involving Fernandes should not be confused with this club.

The club held at the Black Horse appears in "Tykes News" as "Session and Song Folk Club at The Black Horse, Wakefield", is every Wednesday evening and is run by Tony and Mel.

Apologies to Tony and Mel if there has been any confusion.

Thanks to all who attended in November. It was a very good session, pehaps one of the best, with many singers, musicians and listeners.

Next session Sunday 6th December at Fernands Brewery Tap.

Again all are welcome, singers, musicians and listeners.

Unfortunatly for me (pehaps not for those listening) I cannot attend and my rendition of the Jail of Cluain Meala will not be heard.
If last months session is a taste of what is to come then I certainly won't be missed.

Ray & Dennis were right, what a great turn out it was, just goes to show Folk music is alive and kicking in Wakefield! Just to confirm we are live at Fernandez this Sunday 7th December 2pm onwards, one or two people were asking if it was on and the answer is Yes, hope to see you all there.

Thanks Ray for the information.

Please give my regards to all at the Fernandes Tap and I know all will enjoy the afternoon, especially your enterprising renditions.
I can only recommend that anyone reading this thread should move all in their path to attend, as it appears to get better each time. Unfortunatly I can not take my own advice as there is too much in my path and I can not get round it.

Excellent Sunday afternoon with Dave Nuttall and Ian and Elaine and Tony and Mel, Brian, Nicky Howarth and Dave from the Red Shed and a nice open audience of non folkies who really enjoyed the playing and singing!!

Good little modern pub and nice beer they tell me (I don't drink alcohol there as I am driving)

First Sunday snook up on us I think being day after Feb 28th

Benny May says Ackworth folk at the Mason's is back in business after a lick of paint (3rd Sunday afternoon in month)

All this e mail stuff is new to me....so be patient . I STARTED this message in 2007 so I should be close now. FERNANDES FOLK still meets on the first SUNDAY of each month from 2 p m to 6 . Please see these pages for moe details. Last month many singers and musicians were at WHITBY for Moor And Coast Fest but Grog and Dave went along . The sessions and songs still receive excellent support....and the real ale selection is second to none....unless you are on a no beer diet like me.The next date for the folk afternoon is Sunday 7 th, June and everyone is most welcome . I believe this is the same date as Robin Hoods Bay and Wiirral festivals . Ben May has run Ackworth Folk Club at the Masons Arms for many years. Ackworth is on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 2 p.m Numbers are a bit sparse at the moment and it would be great to support this club with new and old faces.   Next meeting is 21 st JUNE .         REGARDS       DAVE NUTTALL
