Plenty going on within a few miles of Exmouth - see the website http://www.2leftfeet.co.uk/ and look at the "Diary Dates" for the more "organised" clubs and singarounds - but also check out the "Folk Song Clubs" and "Music and Song Pub Sessions" which give details of the regular but more informal events, some of which are not also shown every week/month in the diary dates section.

For proximity and regular varied "club" types I'd recommend Tug the Cox's Exmouth club (see above), the Lympstone one or the Topsham one (both accessible by train from Exmouth); but also, for excellent traditional songs, try the ones at Sidmouth and Ide and for music with little or no song try the sessions in Exeter (alternate Wednesdays, English/mixed), first Thursdays in Topsham (English), and alternate Thursdays in Exeter (Irish).

All of these are within about 8 - 10 miles of Exmouth.

Thanks Ian, actually, due to heavy demand, it now starts at 8.00, with a bit of a warm up Jam just vbefore that. The occasional 5th Tuesdays are 5 * 30min showcases for new matyerial, new line ups, or just people who are new to the area, or to extended sets. jeff

There is

It's the first, third and fifth Tuesday of each month at the Manor Hotel at The Beacon. Floor spots, start 8:30, if you want to do a spot get there early.

This is a roundabout way to find folk clubs in Devon. Go to the webpage about the Honiton folk dance club (dance only) and scroll to the bottom. Click on the link to all folk dances/clubs in Devon (or words to that effect) and all will become clear.

start here honiton folkies

Tony Day says that there's a club run by a story teller (Jenny Moon)and frequented by Paul Downes at the Swan Inn, Lympstone (next to the railway station) on the first Wednesday of the month - stories, songs, poems and tunes all welcome. There's a session in the Bicton Inn, Bicton St Exmouuth (off Rolle Street) on the first Thursday of the month. Usually half a dozen musicians and the odd song.

There's one in Lympstone, but it's only once a month, I think. Try a PM to Tony Day, who has recently moved from Exmouth to Lympstone.

Planning on spending a few days in the area later in the month.
Any folk clubs to go to?
