Not in St Ives itself as far as I know.
Not too far away if you have wheels:
Penzance Folk Club is alternate Wednesdays (next one June 19th.)
Dreamers Folk is every Sunday at Four Lanes, Redruth.
The Folk in Cornwall web site should be useful for other clubs and sessions.

It's been many a long year since I was last there, but there's music at the Union Inn in St Ives. How often, and whether it's still folk, you'll have to check. It was when I went!

I think you're the wrong week for the Newbridge session & Penzance FC & a couple of venues to the west.

There's a gig at The Acorn, Penzance next Sunday; someone with an acoustic guitar anyway.
