OUR NEXT DATE IS FRIDAY 1 NOVEMBER
Our main guests for November are the classic four-piece folk-rock band Hunter Muskett. 
The band began life at the end of the 1960s and were soon signed up by Decca Records. After the release of their first album, they toured at home and abroad for almost three years. Following a second album, they split up in 1974. However in 2010, with the re-release of one of their first album, they decided to get together again for a one-off gig. They enjoyed the experience so much that they made another recording and did a few gigs. Fast forward to 2019, they have recorded two more album and are gigging again. One of their member, Terry Hiscock is a regular and popular performer at Hadleigh. More information on the band website.
Our featured guest is Gemma Khawaja, a singer-guitarist from Norforlk. Gemma sings traditional British songs , and writes her own songs inspired by rural life, mythology and folklore. More information HERE.
There will be floorspots from Helen Woodbridge and Tanglethread.
Hadleigh Folk and Acoustic Music Nights are normally held on the first Friday of the month – from September to July at the Ansell Centre, Market Place, Hadleigh IP7 5DU.
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.
Our 2019-2020 programme is now complete. Check here.
