Kevin Hunt
At the Golden Hind, 355 Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 1SP
8pm (Doors open 7:30pm)
Entry: £12(door), £11(advance), £10(members).
Den Miller: Strong melodies, catchy sing-along choruses and intelligent lyrics are the trademark of songs composed and performed by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Den. He is an engaging and entertaining live performer, delivering his music and his message with clarity, energy and a good deal of humour.
His latest album, “Bless the Rains”, presents songs inspired by his time living in Kenya, including stereotypes, difficult decisions, corrupt leaders, gratitude for privilege, gratitude even for bad things, the power of hope and . . . tea. Den’s already known for an unusual viewpoint that entertains as well as being thought-provoking, and his new album widens that perspective further.
“Den can deliver a hefty punch with a killer turn of phrase” – FATEA Magazine

Romy Gensale: Romy’s musical and songwriting life started way back in the early 1980s in London, with her first band, an all-female five piece, Drunk on Cake. They played their own brand of original music at popular and independent venues such as Camden’s Powerhaus, Dingwalls, and Brixton’s Ace Club. Later Romy found herself in the 8-piece world music band Speaking in Tongues which graced the stages of the ICA and The Marquee, and filled out The Borderline as resident band. Her claim to fame was headlining an evening with support by an extremely talented Tori Amos, making her mark on the UK.
Romy later moved to Norfolk for a quieter lifestyle, and decided to go solo and begin recording her own music. She has since formed the rock fusion band ROME, taking her self-penned music to a new and exciting level, and making waves continuing to promote original music.
“I’ve always been a fan of song writers who can take a step back from life, really look at it in detail, make sense of it and then turn that perspective into something beautiful. A modern and feistily independent example of such is Romy Gensale” – Helen Robinson, Sounds Magazine.
For the past couple of years, Romy has been blessed with her band ROME, with the talents of Vic Lennard on lead guitar, Chris Ross on bass and Andy Barlow on drums.
Tonight they'll be joining her, playing a collection of gorgeous folk jazz songs from her various albums.

Praise for the Folk Club
Lester Lloyd Reason of The Lights made the following comment after they had performed at the Folk Club on 28th March 2025:
" it
"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 together, sharing music, laughter and community through song. The team are welcoming, friendly and helpful, the sound is beautiful and the audiences are appreciative."
