We had a fabulously fun time at the ever excellent Everyman Folk Club and their ever excellent audience last night. Suffolk is a long way on a Friday, but we always come away having been made wonderfully welcome. A great Folk Club. Next up Mike and Damien will both be heading to next weekend's

What a lively and cheerful start to our new season at the Everyman Folk Club last night with fantastic guests, Damien Barber and Mike Wilson. Rooted in the folk tradition, their choice of material was a tribute to the singers from whom they learned their songs. Damien’s understated concertina playing and beautiful guitar arrangements were perfectly balanced accompaniments to the rich and expressive voices of this superb duo. Damien and Mike’s admirable stagecraft included informative introductions to each song, peppered with joyful badinage. Thank you both for another brilliant evening of “great songs brilliantly sung".

Very well done to all our floor performers for the evening - Graham Schofield, John Clark & Kathy Migdal, Bill Johnston & Sheila Darling, Matthew Robertson, Steve Shipley, and Dave Tricker – who treated us to songs, concertina and melodeon tunes, and well crafted limericks too! We’re also very grateful to Charlie Haylock for his excellent emceeing.

Huge thanks to our cracking audience – it was lovely to see you all, and to enjoy your magnificent chorus singing – of course! See you next time, when we are delighted to welcome Carolyn Robson & Moira Craig to the Everyman on Friday 31 October 2025.

🎶 We're so pleased to be welcoming Damien Barber and Mike Wilson back to open our new season at the Everyman. Each an experienced musician in his own right, their combined knowledge and respect of traditional song shines throughout this duo's performances of their superb arrangements - unaccompanied, and accompanied sensitively by Damien on concertina or deftly played guitar.

An excellent end to this season at the Everyman Folk Club with guitar virtuoso, Kevin Dempsey on Friday. Kevin dazzled us all, not only with his incredible dexterity, but also his immense repertoire and ability to switch between genres and styles in a performance that included folk, blues, jazz, funk, and bluegrass. We were entertained with an imaginative variety of traditional and modern songs such as rhythmic Wicked Polly; complex All For You; and sensitive Just Around The Corner (Kieran Goss). The tremendous yet unpretentious display by this versatile entertainer ended with Kevin’s beautiful and haunting rendition of The Parting Glass – a supreme end to a superb evening.

We are grateful to the night’s engaging floor singers: Phil Lyons, Ian & Michelle Wright, Dave Tricker, Charlie Haylock (the night’s magnificent MC), David Cotter, and Bill Johnston & Sheila Darling. Well done one and all.

As ever, huge thanks to the bedrock of the Everyman - our amazing audience for support and encouragement throughout this season. We wish everyone a lovely Summer, and we’ll see you on Friday 26 September 2025 when Damien Barber and Mike Wilson open our new season.

A sensational evening with Nancy Kerr & James Fagan who performed for a sold-out crowd at the Everyman Folk Club yesterday. Their exhilarating performance included exciting new material as well as familiar songs from their 30-year partnership, augmented brilliantly by Nancy’s violin and viola, and James’ 8-string-bouzouki and guitar. It was a privilege to hear some of the songs they have discovered from archives of English music – through their Music-Heritage-Place project. The virtuoso musicianship of this skilled duo was remarkable in their sets of tunes – from Macedonia and Croatia as well as fabulous Australian waltzes. This joyous evening was filled with glorious singing and harmonies, exquisite playing, and superb arrangements, all presented with passion, vitality, and warmth.

Last night’s entertainment included great floor spots from Louise Forster & Kelly Woods, Steve Danby, Will Martin, and Bridget Cousins & Phil Bennett. Thank you all for your contributions to the evening.

Our splendid audience joined in at every opportunity – of course – and we’re looking forward to seeing and hearing you all again next time – on Friday 30 May 2025 - when Kevin Dempsey is our guest for the last night of this Everyman season.
