Coming up on Monday 21st - EDWINA HAYES

Edwina Hayes brings together English folk, Americana and the rich northern singer-songwriter tradition to create a sound that’s truly her own.
Highly accomplished she’s toured with such notable performers as Jools Holland, Van Morrison, Nanci Griffith and Loudon Wainwright III to name just a few.
Mike Harding is among her many fans, and the title track of her album Pour Me A Drink was covered by Nanci Griffith who calls her “the sweetest voice in England”.
Her cover of the Randy Newman song Feels Like Home was featured in the Cameron Diaz film My Sister’s Keeper and has since had over 20 million plays on Spotify and 2.7 million plays on You Tube.
But you don’t need to search for her on YouTube or Spotify - you can see and hear her live, at The Glenfarg Folk Club

Get down to Glenfarg Folk Club tonight for the amazing Maurice Dickson.
Doors open at 8pm

We are excited to welcome back to the club Maurice Dickson on Monday 14 July.

Maurice and the Glenfarg Folk Club go back more years than Maurice would like to admit.

You could be forgiven for asking yourself: “Now, where have I seen that face before?" Truth is, if you have been floating around Europe for the past 15 years or so, you might well have seen Maurice. If it was on a Monday and it wasn’t at Glenfarg, it must have been Germany …or was it Spain, Portugal, Holland, Belgium, France, North Africa …or the Canary Islands. As they say here in Scotland, a stone’s throw from Maurice’s native Northern Ireland, he has `earned his spurs’.

The long journey began in 1975 when he started playing, singing and writing. A year later, aged 16, he put together his first band, which belted out his own material and cover versions of the day. In 1979 he traded his engineer’s overalls for the insecurity of a life on the road. Setting off with a guitar, a sleeping bag and £75, he spent four-and-a-half years slogging it round Europe and North Africa, learning the tricks that only that kind of experience can give an artist – how to judge an audience, how to hook it, how to play it, how to reel it in and put it in the bag. If this will be your first encounter with Maurice, prepare yourself to be amazed by his absolutely astonishing guitar playing, his all-round musicianship, his songs and his razor-sharp wit. Heckle him at your peril (weI speak from personal experience).

Door: Members £10 / Non Members £12

Coming up on Monday 7th .....

Patakas

Exceptionally talented brothers Joe and Will Sartin launched their first recording ‘When You’re Ready’ with festival performances in summer 2023. Bringing driving rhythms and innovative harmony to their fresh interpretations of traditional music and their own original tunes and songs, the brothers beautifully and skillfully express the music-making and folk tradition that runs through the very core of their family.
Will is a member of the popular 5-piece festival ceilidh band, Out of Hand, and Joe is in his final year of a music degree and pursuing projects in folk, jazz and rock; influences which contribute to the unique musical identity of Patakas. Both brothers were members of the National Youth Folklore Troupe of England (NYFTE) in their younger years.
