Download Graham's Review: 24th October 2024


To celebrate our 60th anniversatary, we have booked 'THE SALTS'.

The Salts are a Shanty band with a difference, think Fisherman's 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 April will be Ian K Brown, a Kent born man now living in Northumberland.

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.

Orpington Folk Club, the Farnborough Social Club 2021

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?
