| 25/09/2026 | The Rosellys | Members £10 / Non-members £12 |
|
Once again, for their third appearance at the club, we are extremely
delighted to welcome back The Rosellys - (Rose-Leys as opposed to
Rose-Ell-Ees for those of you that strive for pedantic perfection)! They
are an English country music band from Herefordshire who understand how
to interpret traditional country music with an exciting clear sound.
They produce well-crafted ballads as well as upbeat songs with a
slightly rocky feel, and also classic country songs, all sung
harmonically through the mic. It’s here that you sense the love for the
music. The vocals are sensitively accompanied by instrumentation that
isn’t too loud and compliment the voice of the main singer, Dr Rebecca
Rosellys. Sometimes they gig as a duet, just Rebecca and husband Simon,
but tonight we have them in all their glory as a full band. It'll be a
good’un, but don't take my word for it, come down! (Video Link) |

| 02/10/2026 | Mike Silver | Members £9 / Non-members £11 |
|
"The Woodman folk club is proud to present
Mike Silver. Mike is an unbelievably talented singer/songwriter and
guitarist, whose immense talent has taken him all over the world
entertaining not just Folk, but mainstream audiences too. Mike has also
enjoyed much notoriety through frequent air-play on BBC Radio2 and more
and also through highly successful musical collaborations too. This will in fact be Mike’s fourteenth visit to the club since the start of this century. After many years of hard work Mike became an ‘overnight’ success when the late Terry Wogan on Radio 2 played his song “A Matter of Pride” extensively. Mike is probably one of the most popular performers on the folk scene and his visits to The Woodman invariably become one of the highlights of the year. Naturally he'll have some excellent CD's on sale so you might want to check out the merchandise table. (Video Link) |

| 16/10/26 | Anthony John Clarke | Members £9 / Non-members £11 |
|
We are privileged to have the master singer song-writer, troubadour and
comic mega-star, Mr Anthony John Clarke and his two cohorts’, Julia
Porter on Keyboards & Derry Jones on Bass. AJ is not only a superb musician, he’s also an amazing entertainer. His outstanding self-penned material takes us on wonderous journey’s through comforting nostalgia, quiet contemplation, reflective sorrow, rising to sublime hilarity and there’s even a smidgen of good old folk-rock to bop along with too. Julia enriches everything that AJ does using her consummate keyboard skills, velvet-smooth harmonies, and quick-fire wickedly funny interjections. A larger-than-life personality who is a real tour-de-force in her own right! Derry will be on his trusty bass guitar, rolling with the punch lines and widening the depth of the overall soundscape, (in more ways than one), waiting in the background for opportunities to have a little sip of something nice and maybe, slip in a one-liner or two!

| 23/10/26 | The Lost Notes | Members £10 / Non-members £12 |
|
Hold on to your seats! Tonight we have the irrepressible, uber-talented
Lost Notes! Fresh from their exhaustive and highly successful tour of the folk clubs, village halls, town halls, and folk festivals of Olde England and even gigs as far away as Espania, the Lost Notes are without doubt, one of the most exciting bands to have exploded on to the UK and now European, folk scene in years. What can we expect? Superb three-part harmony vocals, beautifully scripted original songs, impressive professional musicianship, explosive stage presence and bags and bags of on-stage energy that radiates from them to you and anyone else who is lucky enough to be standing within 100 meters!

| 30/10/26 | Paul Downes & Mick Ryan | Members £8 / Non-members £10 |
|
Mick Ryan and Paul Downes are a highly regarded duo on the British folk
and acoustic music scene. They are known for their blend of traditional
material, Mick Ryan’s original songwriting, and Paul Downes’ intricate
instrumental work. Mick Ryan is a superb English folk singer described by Folk Roots as ""the most underrated singer in the country"". He is also a playwright who has written several acclaimed ""folk operas"" or musicals, including The Navvy's Wife, The Pauper's Path, and A Day's Work. Paul Downes is an outstanding multi-instrumentalist (guitar, banjo, mandolin), and singer widely considered one of the most respected acoustic guitarists in Britain. His extensive career includes working with Phil Beer, The Arizona Smoke Revue, Pete Seeger, and the roots band The Joyce Gang. The pair has performed together for over a decade, producing multiple duo albums such as When Every Song Was New (2012) and The Passing Hour. Their live performances are noted for excellent vocal harmonies where Paul provides sensitive harmonies that complement Mick's deep, rich voice. This is a rare treat, so treat yourselves to a massively entertaining evening. (Video Link) |

| 13/11/26 | Gary Edward Jones | Members £8 / Non-members £10 |
|
Tonight, we will be welcoming back one of our excellent finds from the
recent past, Mr. Gary Edward Jones. As regular visitors to the club will
know, Gary is a singer-songwriter from Liverpool, with a voice so
reminiscent of Paul Simon that he regularly takes out a tour entitled
“Something About Simon” in homage to his muse. His debut CD, ‘The
Cabinet Maker’ was released some while ago to great acclaim. Many of you
will remember from his previous visits that Gary has penned some
beautiful songs so the night will be filled with his own stuff plus,
maybe the occasional cover. I can promise you it’ll be worth waiting for in either case. (Video Link) |

| 20/11/26 | Hunter Musket | Members £10 / Non-members £12 |
|
Their second time at the Woodman, Hunter Musket formed in 1968 and still
going strong, these days Hunter Muskett are: Terry Hiscock - acoustic
and electric guitars, slide guitar, piano, vocals: Doug Morter -
acoustic and electric guitars, vocals: Rog Trevitt - bass guitar,
mandolin, vocals. Terry Hiscock and Doug Morter formed Hunter Muskett in
1968 whilst still at college. Within a year they were signed by Decca
and booked into the studios alongside bassist Danny Thompson. The album
‘Every Time You Move’ (on vinyl only) was released in October 1970. In
late 1970 bass-player Rog Trevitt completed the line-up. The new line-up
finally went on the road full-time and toured continuously in the UK and
on the continent for the next three years. In 2010, the Musketeers
decided to meet up again for the first time in 30-odd years and a
‘one-off’ performance was arranged at The Aspinall Arms near Clitheroe.
This led to new dates, new songs, and another album, 'That Was Then,
This Is Now' (2013). The new CD was helped along by the likes of Paul
Burgess, Jerry Donahue, and Ray Jackson. Ten of the eleven songs were
band originals and no doubt CD's will be available tonight. Hunter
Musket are pure class from the golden age of music, bring yourself right
up-to-date by coming to see them tonight! (Video Link) |

| 27/11/26 | Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer | Members £8 / Non-members £10 |
|
Once again we are delighted to welcome back this pair of very popular
previous guests namely Vicki Swan and Jonny Dyer. Vicki and Jonny
provide us with a quirky mix of songs, tunes and instruments! Their
performances showcase new interpretations of old songs alongside
original self penned tunes and new contemporary songs that are entirely
at home in the tradition. Be entranced by the haunting nyckelharpa,
amazed at the cow horn, (one of the worlds earliest communication
devices), and meet some of the bagpipes that didn’t come from Scotland.
Their evenings are packed with toe tapping tunes and songs of love,
death, trains and dressing up, (not always at the same time), all
presented with sparkling gentle humour, lots of smiles and skillful
musicianship. A fun musical spectacular is guaranteed! (Video Link) |

|
As always it really is a great pleasure to welcome back local lass and
club favourites, Kim Lowings & The Greenwood. Whenever we invite Kim and
the lads they never fail to put on a brilliant night for us. They have
been regular guests at the club for several years now and their
musicianship, Kim’s vocals - backed up by the boys haunting melodies and
subtle percussion - and their general charisma and stage presence have
simply gone through the roof over the last few years. Their growing
collection of CD’s will no doubt be on sale at the show should you want
to take a little of them home with you. Another unmissable night in
store! (Video Link) |
