Graham's Review:
We have Singer's and Musician's Nights for all Thursdays for November
28th November will have the second half dedicated as a Tribute to Ivan North, Resident for 40 years, who sadly died on this day in 2023.
If you have a song that you know Ivan liked please contact Mike to have it included in the schedule.
(Please see our diary for dates).
During the month either side of the this we continue with our singers & musicians nights. So plenty to look forward to.
We also have a new issue review of a recent singer's night, presented by Graham Watts. See above link.

28th Singer's and Musician's / Ivan North Tribute Night.
Ivan became a regular visitor to the club soon after it moved to the White hart in 1982 and became a Resident shortly after. Ivan's taste in music was varied. He played for a number of morris dance sides, folk and Ceilidh bands. Ivan was a hoarder of accordions and had many instruments. He dabbled in the manufacture of his own accordions and melodians made up of several others and tuned to his own specification. Sadly, Ivan died on 28th November 2023.
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?
