Folk @ CMT 2025: Where Folk Music Meets Industrial Heritage!
Get ready for a toe-tapping, family-friendly day out at Folk @ CMT 2025! On July 26th, from 11 am to 8 pm, the Cambridge Museum of Technology will come alive with the sounds of incredible local talent, thanks to the Black Fen Folk Club and the Cambridge Folk Club.   

Imagine this: soul-stirring melodies echoing against the backdrop of a magnificent, iconic Victorian pumping station. David Savage of the Black Fen Folk Club says it best: "It's great to showcase all this great talent against this amazing backdrop!"

But it's not just about the music; it's about the atmosphere! Marion Treby of the Cambridge Folk Club knows that "Folk music and our industrial heritage are perfect partners, making the Cambridge Museum of Technology an ideal venue."

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 is always so special playing Cambridge Folk Club. It has a special place in our hearts and has such a unique atmosphere. No other Folk Club I have ever played comes close."  

 


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 together, sharing music, laughter and community through song. The team are welcoming, friendly and helpful, the sound is beautiful and the audiences are appreciative."
