Intimate roots and acoustic music 

Cambridge Folk Club presents Open Stage, Showcase and Guest Nights. Buy your tickets on-line from this website or phone 01638 603986

We are a live music club offering all styles of acoustic and folk music. We support local and national artists in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Before the coronavirus lockdown, we used to meet every Friday night at 8.00pm in the upstairs function room at The Golden Hind, Milton Road, Cambridge, CB4 1SP. This easily accessible pub offers a wide selection of draught lagers, beers and ciders, and a great range of pub food, and there's parking too. When the lockdown finishes, come along to enjoy creative, talented and original performances. 

During the lockdown, we were hosting Virtual Concerts. As lockdown eases we will reduce the number of Virtual Concerts and increase the number of live concerts. See the details below and on the Programme at a glance page .

For the safety of artists, audiences, and volunteers we are introducing some extra requirements to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Tennessee Twin
This award-winning Cambridge-based acoustic duo play original country music. Blending memorable memories, gritty yet thoughtful lyrics and delicious harmonies, Geoff and Victoria’s self-penned songs quickly caught the admiration of British country audience, and their latest singles, “Every Story”, “Two Heart Rendezvous”, “When We Move” and “Rewind” have all received universal praise. Their debut EP, “Tips in a Jar” (August 2019) went straight into the iTunes Country Chart at No. 1 and has established itself as a favourite of country fans while gaining widespread airplay. “It showcases the kind of storytelling prowess that has already earned Tennessee Twin international acclaim” - Gaz Williams, ‘Building Our Own Nashville’.

“These guys are exceptional. The emotion they bring with their songs is undeniable. Their storytelling is second to none” - Keren Morrall, country commentator and podcast host.

Cambridge Folk Club Autumn Programme and Return to Live Gigs

Here at Cambridge Folk Club, we are just as keen as many of you to return to live gigs. However, given the current rise in Covid cases, the number of people who are being asked to self-isolate, and the possibility of another lockdown in the Autumn, we know we must keep our musicians, audience and volunteers as safe as possible. So, rather than return to a weekly programme of live events at the Golden Hind, we're planning to put on one live concert in September, and keep our remaining events on line.

The live event will be socially distanced, and therefore, rather than using the upstairs room of the Golden Hind, we will be using the NCI Club which is a larger venue .

In October we will return to the Golden Hind for our live concerts. More information will be available about this nearer the time.

We will be using the following Covid-safe measures:

• The live concert will be ticketed only, with tickets available in advance from the website.

• A NHS QR code poster will be displayed so that you can check in.

• We will ask you to use hand sanitiser on entry.

• Seating will be at tables, and in groups of not more than two households.

• Unless you are exempt, we will be advising you to wear masks when moving around inside the venue.

• We will also be asking you to keep a suitable distance from others who are not in your 'party'.

• We would recommend that you take a lateral flow test in the 48 hours before the event.

• Please do not come along if you have a temperature or Covid symptoms, or if you have been asked to isolate by NHS test and trace. 
  If you develop a temperature or Covid symptoms, or if you are asked to isolate after you have bought a ticket, we will refund you the cost of the ticket in full.

We're hoping that this first face-to-face concert goes well, and that it will be the start of a safe return to more live music.
