18 Oct 05 - 07:46 AM (#1585161) Subject: RE: Sheffield (U.K.) where's the Folk music From: GUEST,Rich A It's actually quite difficult to miss the folk scene in Sheffield. there's loads of it! Sheffield Uni has a folk society with about 300 members that have ceilidhs every couple of weeks and a Wednesday night session at the Red Deer on Mappin St. http://www.ceilidhsoc.org/ There are Sunday night sessions with a good mixture of students and local musicians at the Kelham Island Tavern on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month. I'm sure Jim will be on to tell you about other stuff including the Sheffield Folk festival that is happening at the end of the month. Cheers Rich www.cruciblemusic.co.uk |

18 Oct 05 - 08:12 AM (#1585189) Subject: RE: Sheffield (U.K.) where's the Folk music From: JulieF I second the bit about the very active ceilidh soc at Sheffield Uni, having met a couple of members at sessions. According to my daughter there does not seem to be any sort of similar society at Sheffield Hallam University. It depends on what he's looking for Singing there's lots of folk clubs , especially the Red Deer on the second Tuesday and Kelham Island ( the last sunday I think) Sessions - take your pick. I'm sure that others will put up the English Sessions but there's most nights at Fagins or the Dog and Partridge. There's the third Tuesday at the Irish Centre ( Especially tonight if anyone hasn't been reading my threads.) Concert wise there's Dervish at the memorial Hall on the 5th Novemeber and I've just had an e-mail about Peggy Segar, Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy at the Library theatre on 1st Decemeber. Sheffield Folk Festival web site www.sheffieldfolkfestival.org (I think) and the folk network site http://www.folk-network.com I'm sure other people will add more. If there is anything specific let me know and I might be able to point him in the right direction. J |

Last night we had 5 fiddles, 2 banjos, 2 mandolins, guitar and bass. On the second (I think) monday there's a bluegrass session. Ray |

(However I expect that it will probably be bumped from Christmas Day to Boxing Day, or something like that, this year.) @ |

Kiveton Park Folk Club is just outside the city, easily reached be bus and train. It's every Tuesday night without fail. Good company, free grub ( that should interest a student!) cheap bar ( that should as well!)and a really friendly crowd. All are welcome and invited to perform. Mainly trad-ish but no-one excluded.Occasional guests, next one Damien Barber on 8th November. our website is at www.kivetonfolk@fs.net, I think. Cheers Andy |
