Special events
Every 4th Sunday: Michelle's Music Nights. Starts about 8 pm.
A broad-ranging evening of folk-based music and words named in memory of
Michelle Holding, who hosted the sessions with Bonz Barnes from their
resumption after Covid to the end of 2023. Come along to sing, share
and listen to traditional, contemporary and instrumental folk, plus
poetry, blues and country, in a singaround format. Contact Bonz at:
bonz1@btinternet.com for enquiries, or to add your name to the mailing list.
Note that it is not the last Sunday. Often it's the same thing but not always.
The next one will be on March 23.
