The Wivenhoe Folk Club has been meeting at The Greyhound in Wivenhoe High Street since 5th March, 1992. The Club, which is no-smoking and largely acoustic, meets on the first Thursday of every month, with occasional special 'extra Thursdays'. The booked guests are nationally known and often internationally known artistes; floor spots by local and near-local performers are always welcomed. It's best to 'phone MC Brian Ford in advance (01206 823877) to book a floorspot as we get a lot of people! Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. Admission on guests nights varies - ranging from £5, with concessions £4, sometimes a little more, depending on the booked guest; floor singers get in free. On Singaround nights, admission for non-performers is £2. |
