Woodman Folk Club - Newsletter

Hello Folketeers!

The holidays are starting, the Hens are laying and we are all eggcited!
Happy Easter, Happy Ostara, (belated), or whatever you call it.

Eat Chocolate!

We will be doing just that for the first two weeks in April.

On Friday the 3rd of April, and Friday the 10th of April we will be closed for the holidays for two weeks.

Then on Friday the 17th of April @20:30, we have the fantastic Cathryn Craig and Brian Willoughby. Last with us back in April 2024, they always have a delightfully laid back, easy style. Enchanting vocals and dazzling guitar riffs are guaranteed and always a joy to hear, and tonight will I’m sure will be no exception. With Brian originally hailing from Northern Ireland and Cathryn from the US of A, we can expect an evening of eclectic, largely self-penned music inspired by life on both sides of the pond. They are undoubtedly one of the folk genre’s best loved duos and we take pleasure in welcoming them back to the Woodman. It's going to be a full house so get there early!

Then on Friday the 24th of April @20:30, we have a very special treat for you all. A Woodman Folk Club Exclusive!! Richard Digance. What a fantastic coup! The magnificent Richard Digance makes his first-ever appearance at The Woodman Folk Club and it is exclusive!
