Next club night – Friday May 1

Bof!

Bof! are one of the UK’s foremost bands who play French and Breton music in many instances for dancing. However, as on this evening they also play concerts. Gwendal Moële our singer, originally from Brittany, sings in French and Breton. The band’s music is mainly traditional but includes a sprinkling of more contemporary material. The other three members of the quartet who are all well-known to Hadleigh audiences, are Simon Haines (on accordions), Phil Lyons (on guitar and vocals), and Val Woollard (on recorders, fleet, saxophone and bagpipes. You can find more about Bof! HERE

Our featured guests are Little Blue Starling, a vocal duo who play mellow folk and acoustic covers on tenor and baritone ukuleles and washboard guitar. Close friends Annie and Kate have beautiful voices which blend together to create magical harmonies. Our Hadleigh audiences always appreciate their music.

Hadleigh Folk and Acoustic Music Nights are normally, though not always, held on the first Friday of the month – from September to June. Address:

The Ansell Centre, Market Place, Hadleigh IP7 5DL.

We feature folk music in the broadest sense of the word. In addition to “traditional” and “contemporary” folk music, you can expect to hear hints of pop, country, jazz or even classical music.

Our doors open at 7.45 and the music starts at 8 o’clock.

Each evening starts with an informal short  “floor spot”. Please contact us in advance to book a floor spot.

Next, after a short break, is our Featured Guest: a 30-minute performance from an individual or group.Finally, after another short break, our Main guest finishes the evening with a 60-minute performance. Occasionally we have two joint main guests each of 45 mins. Our evenings finish around 10.00.

Entry price is £8.00 – no advance tickets

THERE IS NO BAR AT THE ANSELL CENTRE BUT YOU ARE WELCOME TO BRING YOUR OWN DRINKS.
