Bishop's Castle Folk Club

Friday 24th March sees the start of the first Bishop's Castle Folk Club. This is to take place in the Top Room at The Three Tuns Public House at 8 o'clock prompt. Opening the club is the resident band
The Shot Dogs, followed by floor spots from various performers.

Our very special guest for the opening night of the Club is Mr. John Kirkpatrick. John lives locally and is not only involved with the local Morris side, The Shropshire Bedlams, but is also one of the major figures of the English folk scene. "I was so pleased when he agreed to perform at our first night. It's a great honour," said Sally, the organiser. "He has a wonderful voice and his melodeon and concertina playing can't be praised highly enough." With John we're guaranteed an evening of variety and entertainment of the highest quality.

This is an unplugged, non-smoking club, and an affordable evening of song, music, stories and laughter. "We'll be featuring young folk artists from Shropshire and beyond" Sally carried on " I've seen them at local pub sessions, and been very impressed. I know they're out there, but don't have a stage on which to prove it. We'll have Show Case evenings as well as singers' nights and special guests."

Bishop's Castle Folk Club nights are March 24th, April 21st (both at The Three Tuns) and May 19th (venue tbc)
all at 8 o'clock prompt. Entrance £5.00 on guest nights and an annual membership ticket will be available.

Please come and join the Club. Make friends, sing along, tap you feet and have a laugh. If you would like a floor spot please contact Sally on 01588 638438
