“In Your Own Words and The One That Got Away are classics akin to Richard Thompson’s “Beeswing.” R2

“He manages the smart balance of seriousness and lightheartedness that gave the likes of Tom Waits, Harry Chapin, Randy Newman and John Prine their legendary status.” Maverick

There will also be 10-minute slots from other musicians.

Praise for the Folk Club 

 Maddie Morris sent us this after performing at the Folk Club on 16th February 2024:

"Cambridge Folk Club is an example of what a folk club should look like, and the direction I hope the folk scene continues to go in. With a commitment both to the tradition, and to creating events that welcome everyone. Cambridge Folk Club is a warm, welcoming and safe atmosphere for artists and audiences and a true embodiment of what folk music should be. People coming togend tickets.
