Welcome to the website of Stockton Folk Club
We moved to The Moline Cross at Norton Cricket Club in 2022. We recently switched from the large function room to the Lounge. Note changes to our times, below, which come into effect on 20th January 2025 We're a friendly club that believes in participation, not just listening, so come and join in some rousing choruses. A typical evening begins at around 7:00 p.m. usually with a short instrumental session or "knurdle" when our regulars work their way through some well-tried tunes: anyone is welcome to join in and to add to the repertoire. Singing starts at 7:30p.m. and we aim to finish at 10:30. (All these times are likely to be approximate until people get used to the change) We're currently booking guest-nights once a month (except in August): other nights are "singarounds" (see What's on). At a singaround everyone is encouraged to get up and sing, play a tune, recite, clog dance or do whatever they want to do, provided it falls under the wide umbrella of folk. Don't worry, nobody is coerced into getting up: we always welcome new performers and listeners. On a guest night, floor spots are limited: if you are visiting and want to perform, catch the M.C. early -- you may still be restricted to one song! Entry is £2 for singarounds (which includes a raffle ticket and subsidises guest nights) and typically £8 for guests (£6 for members - annual subs recommence in April). For the full address and directions see our Find Us page. The Club is usually closed on bank holiday Mondays but please check on our What's-on page for other closures. |
