22nd MAY - 60th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
To celebrate our 60th anniversatary, we have booked 'THE SALTS'.
The Salts are a Shanty band with a difference, think Fishermans Friends on steroids. The 5 well seasoned multi-instrumentalists provide a lively evening of entertainment, guarenteed to send you home with a skip in your step.
The Entrance Fee for the evening will be a miserly £10, so make a note in your diary for this memorable occasion.
Our guest for March will be Lizzy Hardingham, another debut performer to Orpington Folk Club.
We also present a special Tribute Night to Steve Jennings who died on 8th March 2024, where club members will be performing a selection of songs that Steve performed during his long time at the club.
Please note that entrance fee increased to £3 for Singer's and Musician's Nights and £8.00 for Guest Nights from 1st January 2025.
If not already done so, do not forget to download Graham's review of a recent singer's night. See above link.

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.
6th Steve Jennings Tribute Night.
Steve had been an active member of OFC since 1967, later becoming a Resident. In more recent times he run the club almost single handed. Steve died on 8th March 2024 after a short illness.This evening is a tribute to Steve’s tireless devotion to the club. The first part of the evening will be for singers to participate. The rest of the evening will be devoted to planned performances by various previously organised singers and residents dedicated to songs or tunes that Steve played or liked.
27th Lizzy Hardingham.
Folk infused singer songwriter Lizzy Hardingham sings songs that drive straight to the heart, giving audiences a chance for genuine connection and empathy.
Hardingham is paving her way as a powerhouse performer with beautifully delivered songs, her wonderful voice grabbing the listener from the very first note and holding on until the last.
Think Christine Collister, Joni Mitchell, Sandy Denny and KT Tunstall all wrapped into one.
