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 February will be Craig Joiner, his first visit to Orpington Folk 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.

February's Singers Nights
6th ~ 13th ~ 20th
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.
27th Craig Joiner.
Although Craig has forged a career and won repute in the rock arena, folk music has always been his true muse and calling. “As a 15-year-old, I played my first gig, guitar in hands, at the Cellar Folk Club in Hemel Hempstead,” he recalls. “Life and opportunities then led me elsewhere, but here I am again, having travelled full circle. It feels like home and it’s so wonderful to be here.”
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?
