The Pot House Folk Club, Hartlepool

The Pot House Folk Club opened its doors on 26th January 2007 on the picturesque Headland in Hartlepool. It is organised and run by local folk group The Young'uns, who are a talented trio harmony group from the North East of England. Admission to the club is FREE and, although described as a 'folk' club, all types of music are welcome. From Blues to Country, Traditional Folk to rap, the Pot House Folk Club encompasses an eclectic range of music and traditions from around the world, which is one of the reasons it is so popular.

However, music is not the only form of entertainment that is encouraged. A great part of the folk tradition is the fantastic stories, comedy and history found in books, poetry and prose. If you would like to read a poem or tell a story, please feel free to do so!         

Participation in the singaround nights is encouraged but is not a pre-requisite. So whether you want to just listen, shake a leg or be involved, come to the Pot House for a night of fantastic music and banter.

The club is run fortnightly, on a friday. Refer to www.theyounguns.co.uk/pothousefolk.htm for diary dates. Everyone is welcome so we hope to see you there!!!

Best,
The Young'uns

The Young'uns 3-part unaccompanied harmonies are great - and the club has a lively, happening sort of atmosphere - a 100 mile round trip for us, but well worth it.

Yes, it's got a really good atmosphere -I managed to get there one evening when I was visiting my sister - had to leave about 11 but I've heard it carries on until quite late/early in the morning!

Will try and remember about this, when I'm next over there - I used to live round there and the Headland has a special magic, all of its own. Still get over there, from time to time - either just for a recharge, or to visit family. Sounds like a great evening. Good luck with it.

30th October is a guest night at the Welly - Cara, a trio from Lincolnshire (I think) that Ken is raving about. I'll be posting more info next week, but guest nights at the Welly are usually excellent evenings with great atmosphere.

I'm planning to go the Pot House the following night as long as Mrs Tootler doesn't mind.

Is the Pot House still busy, it was when I managed to get to the Club but I've been told that the landlord's changed, hoping they still support the music.
