Dunoon Folk Club

The first event will take place on the 11th of May, then every second Sunday of the month after that!

FIRST LINE-UP ANNOUNCEMENT

This month we have Ambrose Harper & Ian Connor, a classic around the Dunoon folk scene.

They will be playing alongside Sally Simpson, who will be playing some awesome Swedish folk.

The evening will consist of up to 3 acts per show, with a wide range of folk music (e.g. Scottish, Irish, American etc), storytelling or poetry (sometimes combined with music). All acts will be announced a month prior.

Hosted by Will Goan, who is a folk musician in his own right. Playing locally with the ceilidh band ‘Mac-Talla’ along with other bands such as OverFall.

Folk clubs previously would have been a place of gathering for a community, and a place to hear new acts and immerse yourself in our traditions. However, these sorts of folk clubs are becoming fewer and further between. It is the aim of Dunoon Folk Club to preserve and maintain this core part of our tradition.

Dunoon Folk Club was founded with musicians in mind; therefore, we make sure to always pay musicians performing at or above the recommended wage as stated by the Musicians Union. Your support through attendance and donations help to keep delivering evenings of folk music and potentially more without sacrificing this core ideal.

See you there!!
