Friday 17th April 2026:
Hunter Muskett
Support: Steve and Julie Wigley
At the Golden Hind, 355 Milton Road, Cambridge CB4 1SP
8pm (Doors open 7:30pm)
Entry: £14(door), £13(advance), £12(members).
Formed in 1968 and still going strong, Hunter Muskett are Terry Hiscock (acoustic and electric guitars, slide guitar, piano, vocals); Doug Morter (acoustic and electric guitars, vocals); and Rog Trevitt (bass guitar, mandolin, vocals). Hunter Muskett is an acoustic/electric harmony band, playing distinctive original songs in a folky, sometimes bluesey, vein. In the early 1970s they played clubs, colleges and festivals at home and abroad and recorded two, now collectable, albums. Since reforming they have produced three CDs of original material, ‘That Was Then, This Is Now’ (2013), ‘Unafraid and Sober’ (2017), and ‘Roll On’ (2024).
They’ve just played at their friend Richard Digance’s birthday bash, and begin their Spring Tour with us at Cambridge Folk Club.
"One band that doesn't have to stand on past glories" - Record Collector Magazine.
Steve and Julie Wigley have performed at Derby Folk Festival, Moira Furnace Festival, and numerous folk clubs countrywide. Julie is a prolific, award-winning songwriter, whose songs always have a story to tell. Julie’s song ‘The Usher Imp’ won the 2021 Write a Song for Lincolnshire competition. She and her husband Steve have produced ten albums, a songbook and an illustrated poetry/songbook. They are sure to have something to please you.

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."
