Recenlty established monthly(ish) folk night in the heart of Birmingham. Aiming for a variety of local acts.

Waltham Abbey is a historic and beautiful town in the county of Essex at the very far North of London. We’re a small and friendly club who run singarounds most weeks with a special guest evening about once every month. On singaround evenings everybody is welcome to chip in with a song, tune, poem, monologue or anything else you’d like to share with an appreciative audience - or you can just watch the performances and join in with the choruses if you prefer. We welcome traditional, contemporary and original material. The bar is very reasonably priced and serves excellent local ale. ...

We have guest singers and groups from all over the country and try to cover the many styles and types of music that over the years have become part of the folk scene. The club has a friendly informal atmosphere in which local people can have the opportunity to get up in front of an audience and experience the fun and nerves, of a live performance. ...
