Gadaffi isn't quite right - the club in Guildford is actually run principally by Lawrence Heath.I can't take the credit for that (it's the sort of thing he's been doing very successfully in this area for years). I actually help out on the very small committee and threaten everybody with raffle tickets,and ,occasionally at the Electric Voices concerts, with merchandise for the artistes.

The Music Institute Club in Guildford (formerly the Good Old Way Folk Club) is located at the Guildford Institute in Ward Street (off North Street) in Guildford, and meets once a month, mainly on a Friday (although with some variations in the next few months). The next meeting (as I've posted on another thread) will be on Friday 27th January when the guests will be Ed Rennie and Jackie Oates.

Lawrence also runs a series of very successful concerts in Guildford, Cranleigh, and on occasion in Farnham (mostly on Saturdays). The last of these was last night in Guildford at the Electric Theatre - Last Night's Fun, and the next will be at Cranleigh in February (Kathryn Tickell and Corinna Hewatt). You can get full details of all of these at http://www.electricvoices.org

As far as other clubs in the area I think those have already been covered by everybody else!

SH*T - Sods law strikes again !!!!

After getting my head round the though of travelling back and forth to Leatherhead , the company has decided to send me to a "rush" job in Holland for six weeks - at least - so the whole thing needs to go on the back burner ( as they say ) but, thanks for all the effort and apologies for the inconvenience but hopefully all the info. will be used at a later date.
One day - hopefully - One day !!!!!!

Many Thanks again.

Cheers Betsy .

Hi Betsy, lots of stuff going on around here, if you PM with your email I'll send you my infamous list. Here's a few links - the Chanticleer linked in posts above by Mooman is the closest one!

Anchor folk club in Byfleet
Ram club in Claygate
Horsham folk club
Maidenhead Folk club
Sutton acoustic
Twickenham Folk Club
Windmill at Ewshot
Tanners Hatch

I live in Leatherhead, wish I was in a position to offer accomodation but it's a bit cramped. You'd be welcome for a few nights if you wanted to come down as a base while you're checking things out though. Not often around at weekends though - too many festivals & stuff! Looking forward to meeting you,
Hil

Here's a link to

The Chanticleer Acoustic and Traditional Music Club, Dorking

I was the organizer for five yearsin the late 80s and beginning of the 90s and it is a good and welcoming club.

Claygate is a really excellent club and is also near Leatherhead (Friday evening I think but it's been 15 years now).

Peace

Sorry to put this on the Song /Music bit - but this is the part of Mudcat I usually read .
Anyway, I need to go to Leatherhead in my work for some months and apart from wanting to know if there are any Folk / Acoustic Clubs my main question is "Does anyone know of the whereabouts of any sensible accommodation around Leatherhead for a mature - aged person "? I would be very grateful for any advice / contacts .

Cheers Betsy.
