HAMBLEDON FOLK CLUB

Wednesday July 13th THE LONGEST JOHNS

THE LONGEST JOHNS

First time to Hambledon for The Longest Johns who come highly recommended by regulars who have seen them elsewhere. The Longest Johns is a four-man, a Capella folk music band from Bristol. Born out of a mutual love of traditional folk songs and shanties this group features both time-honoured songs and new material.

Summer brings great artists to Hambledon for July and September while in August we have our summer “Anything Goes” session. Our performer season also features a great line-up for the rest of the year.

Wednesday August 10th - Informal ‘Anything Goes’ Session

This is the night for anyone to show off their talent, try out a new song or get the pub singing along. Anything goes – music, song, a poem, story or even a jig – all welcome to join in or just sit back and listen. FREE ADMISSION – The August session will be held in The Vine Pub (next to Youth Hut – see below for address).

Wednesday September 14th - MICK RYAN and PAUL DOWNES

He has now teamed up with Paul Downes, a very accomplished acoustic guitarist who plays with a dazzling array of styles and effortless brilliance. Together they provide singing, music and entertainment of the very highest quality which oozes skill and professionalism.
