Bridlington Folk Club

Singers' & Musicians' Night

Tuesday 28th September at 8pm
Bring your instruments, songs and have a great time!
We look forward to seeing you.

We are following Government guidelines* and had our first meeting on 20th July at 8pm for a Singers' and Musicians' Night.

Please take a Lateral Flow Covid Test prior to attending to reduce the risk of Covid 19 being spread through the Folk Club.

The Committee have a responsibility for the safety and welfare of Bridlington Folk Club members and have, therefore, carried out a Covid 19 Risk Assessment to reduce the risk of members contracting Covid 19 through meeting at the Folk Club.
- The Folk Club meets in a room where it is difficult to socially distance.
- Singing and the blowing of wind instruments will take place.
- People who are part of the "Vulnerable Category" and may be susceptible to catching Covid 19, may attend.
- It is an indoor venue, not an outdoor venue.
- The premises (The Telegraph Pub/Bar/Toilets) are shared by other people who are not part of the Folk Club.

The Government have made available Lateral Flow Tests to the British Public, which give a clear indication of whether a person is Covid Positive or Negative, regardless of whether they present symptoms. These can be picked up from pharmacies or GP surgeries. Full instructions are given. Or the LFT can be completed at the Folk Club door through tests provided by The Committee. They take 20 minutes to produce a result, and full assistance can be given if necessary. At present they are still free. The Committee provide tests that are only nasal and not throat swabs.

A person who has had two vaccinations may still transfer Covid 19, even though they do not present symptoms themselves. The person may transfer it to another person who has not had the vaccinations or who is more vulnerable than themselves.

Therefore, the Committee have made it mandatory for attendees take a Lateral Flow Test prior to coming. The Folk Club would like everyone to feel as safe and comfortable in a group setting as possible.

The situation is under constant review and we look forward to the near future when we can all meet freely and safely without having tests.

*Guidelines are not specific to Folk Clubs: the British people are encouraged to take two LFTs per week to assist in curtailing the spread of Covid-19, and information can be found on www.gov.uk websites pertaining this.

Bridlington Folk Club is a friendly, well established folk club that provides a comfortable venue with good acoustics for singers and musicians to perform in.

Many local singers and musicians perform regularly here, and we also enjoy poetry and writers' compositions during the evening.

We welcome visitors and enjoy holiday makers' contributions, always happy to share music with people from folk clubs in other parts of Britain and abroad.

"Variety is the spice of life!" Come and sing, play and listen. Enjoy a full evening in a pleasant setting.

The bar is in the main part of The Telegraph and the folk club is held in the large room at the back. We have a break in the middle of the evening during which we hold a raffle, and tickets can be bought at the start of the evening. The raffle is called during the break.

We look forward to seeing you!

Munday Turner - 11th October 2022 at 8pm

Mundy-Turner is a duo of singer-songwriters, Cath Mundy (vocals, violin, piano, ukulele) & Jay Turner (vocals, guitars, blues harp, percussion). Formed in 1995, the duo has toured the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Italy & Hong Kong, bringing their original music & quirky brand of humour to folk & acoustic venues, community centres, theatres & festivals.
Together, they have released seven full-length albums of original material plus their debut release EP "The Sun Sessions" recorded live in the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis. These days (since becoming proud parents to a son) they tend to work more locally to their home-base, just south of Brisbane, where they are extremely busy writing, recording & performing, delighting audiences wherever they go.
