| 8th Oct | Singaround - Cancelled by the pub at short notice because decorators still at work. |
| 15th Oct | Steve Turner - A tradition bearer and surely one of the best singers on the folk circuit, Steve has a great selection of songs to which he adds outstanding accompaniment on concertina and cittern. These days he plays the clubs and venues he enjoys so we're delighted he chooses us! Relocated for the night to "The Welly" at Wolviston (during refurbishment at the George & Dragon). |
| 22nd Oct | Ragged Trousers - A vocal trio from the Merseyside area who perform folk songs, work songs and shanties. They have a terrific sound and will be great to join in with. Sample tracks on YouTube. |

| 5th Nov | Dave Goulder - A rare opportunity to hear the writer of The January Man, one of the best songs to come out of the folk revival, as witnessed by the many singers who have performed and recorded it. Many more excellent songs were inspired by his interests and experience as a naturalist, railwayman and dry stone waller. In the latter role he achieved the status of master craftsman and it has often been said that this accolade applies equally to his songwriting and singing. |
| 12th Nov | Singaround - 100 years since the end of World War 1 |
| 19th Nov | Tony Wilson - Rescheduled from June and the World Cup, we welcome an old friend of the Club - excellent voice and guitar- some great songs and stories, all making for an entertaining night. Check out an extended interview with Tony by Gary Alikivi (May 10, 2018) |

"Nifty fun with bags of wow factor" FRoots |
| 10th Dec | Marie Little - An early Christmas present! Marie is held in great affection by her many fans which she returns to her audiences with warmth and humour.
