Praise for the Folk Club
Maddie Morris sent us this after performing at the Folk Club on 16th February:
"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.
ther, sharing music, laughter and community through song. The team are welcoming, friendly and helpful, the sound is beautiful and the audiences are appreciative."

Friday 8th November 2024:
Anthony John Clarke
Support: Vic Lennard
At the Golden Hind, 355 Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 1SP
8pm (Doors open 7:30pm)
Entry: £12(door), £11(advance), £10(members).
Anthony John Clarke: Described by Fairport Convention as “a national treasure”, AJ has been an integral part of the UK music scene for thirty years. Originally from Belfast, AJ emerged there with his songs ‘The Broken Years’ and ‘The Only Life Gloria Knows’, but now presents as one of the most humorous and entertaining acts around. Audiences cannot resist the musical invitations to sing, from this true gentleman of the music world.
Expect a degree of sentiment, but also songs covering topics from “The Man From Uncle” to car boot sales, Presidents, karaoke nights, nuns, grandchildren and how to avoid them (he has at least five), camping, bigots, and hitchhiking. He is perhaps the funniest at serious songs and the most serious about funny songs.
On this occasion, AJ will be aided and abetted by the equally charming and witty Julia Porter.
“a lyrical feast with just a dash of Viking” – Folk and Honey.

Vic Lennard has managed to make a career from the unusual combination of music, maths and journalism. Handling most styles from folk to soul and heavy rock, he’s spent the last fifty years playing live and recording, and he now spends most of his time playing guitar in bands and duos around Cambridgeshire. Tonight is your chance to hear him solo!
