'The Wivenhoe Folk Club meets at The Flag Inn, Colchester Road, Wivenhoe where we have been since December 2010 (having moved from The Greyhound after 19 years). 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 Alan van Loen in advance to book a floorspot as we get a lot of people! Doors open at 7.30pm for an 8pm start. Admission on guests nights is £6, with concessions £5 and for floor singers £2 . On our 'Open Stage' (singaround) nights, performers get in free, admission for non-performers is £2. |
