January's Singers Nights
2nd ~ 9th ~ 23rd
Great times are to be had on singers nights. Why not come along and give it a try.
Perhaps sing a song yourself.
Don't forget you can just coming along and listen.
16th Marco Lenzi Tribute Night.
Valued and much loved Marco died of Covid related problems 18th January 2022. A tribute night for him has been organised for 16th January. The first part of the evening will be for singers to participate so if you know a song that Marco sang, then sing a song that Marco liked or have an appropriate song for the occasion. Then let us know at the door so it doesn’t clash with others who arrived before you. The second part of the evening starting at no later than 9:15pm will be devoted to planned performances by various previously organised singers and residents.
30th Tom Cole.
Steeped in the traditions of American folk, country, gospel and blues, Tom's is an Americana style of Alt Country meets Greenwich Village Folk Revival.. Hailing from Hastings on the South Coast of England, Tom crafts heartfelt songs from everyday life, with a softly understated vocal style underpinned by a mix of Merle Travis style fingerpicking and country flatpicking.”
Singers nights at the Orpington Folk Club are an opportunity for singers and musicians to get together to perform their songs and or tunes to an audience. Traditional, contemporary and blues music can all be heard on any one night. The Social Club is an excellent space to play in and the bar prices are so reasonable.
So what's stopping you from giving it a go? See you there?
