17 March 2020: tynefolk closed until further notice

The current situation with the Coronavirus has necessitated that, for the foreseeable future, it is sensible that Tyne Folk Thursday nights are canned until the Government lifts restrictions on gatherings in pubs, restaurants, theatres etc.

It seems that a lot of clubs are following a similar course of action particularly to safeguard the more vulnerable amongst us.

Rest assured as soon as possible we will endeavour to re-book guests on the recommencement of activities.

Sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings but the virus is bigger than we thought!

Each Thursday at 8:30PM, come and join singers and musicians for an evening of folk, both traditional and contemporary. Audiences are also welcome. Guest nights are approximately monthly. Please see our guest list for details.
