Preparations are well under way for the Loughton Folk Club opening night on Thursday 28th October 2010.

In addition to tune sessions and a ukulele session (musicians please join in) there will be chorus song sessions and we will feature some of our best local (and not so local) artists including (in no particular order):

Al Neville http://www.myspace.com/alanneville,

Steve O'Kane and Fiona McBain http://www.steveokane.co.uk/,

Blue Harbour (it was inevitable wasn't it?), and

Paula Ryan http://www.myspace.com/paularyansingersongwriter.

You're very welcome to request a floor spot in advance – If we are oversubscribed I will favour more competent performers and those I haven't seen before.

If you know anyone else who might be interested please pass this on and ask them to send me their contact details.

I have already received (and taken up) a number of suggestions for the club – I very much welcome all ideas and suggestions including for choice of guests – so do please speak up. We could particularly do with an ace Ukulele player to give the guitarists a run for their money!

Looking forward to seeing you all on the 28th October 2010. Don't forget to bring your ukuleles!!!!
