Another memorable evening at the TwickFolk singaround.

With outside temperatures in the high 20’s, one big hit was undoubtedly the air conditioning and, on a related topic, Michael de Podesta had us in stitches with his excellent “Heat Pump You Up” (check out the song on YouTube, https://youtu.be/IUg1z8IZZQI?si=wh3lBKB9gUWs2ZQg)

Other highlights included Geoff Parry’s “appreciation” of a well known politician, and a couple of originals from Janis and Geoff Haves.

Special mention must go to our resident multi-instrumentalist, Cath Nelson, who added depth (literally) to several songs with her fine double bass playing.

No TwickFolk next week; see you on 7 June for Katie Spencer. Tickets available at https://wegottickets.com/event/685854/

Suntrap 17th May 2026

It was a packed stage and a packed house on Sunday for the headline set from the excellent Suntrap.

Sara Byers, Mary Wilson, John Sandall, Tom Evans and our own Sue Graves are firm favourites at TwickFolk.

And they were on top form with their trademark engaging songs, lush harmonies and extensive array of instruments, including three guitars, two fiddles, mandolin, tenor guitar, two accordions, bodhran and bass.

Our guests this Sunday are Suntrap, a five piece band specialising in interweaving harmonies and innovative instrumental arrangements of original, contemporary and traditional songs and tunes. Here they are at TwickFolk, back in 2022, with their version of Anna McGarrigle's "Heart Like a Wheel", followed by Johnny Cunningham's poignant tune "Night in that Land", recorded by our own Pete Bradley. There are a few tickets left - link in the comments below. Doors open 7.45pm

Here’s the legendary Phil Beer at TwickFolk last Sunday with just a few of the instruments he plays. Though Phil has visited us a number of times over the years, this was the first time as a solo performer. What a treat it was; a superb selection of songs and stories, drawn from his long career at the forefront of the folk world. And, of course, some top-drawer playing on guitars, fiddle, tenor guitar and mandolin. Thanks also to Phil’s crew, Nick and Natalie, for making the evening run smoothly.

Our Singarounds are getting more and more popular!
And despite the quantity has risen the quality has not been compromised, but remains as high standard as we are used to.
And seems like it’s getting even better…

03/05/2026

We have one of our cosy, relaxed, unplugged singarounds tonight (Sun 3rd) - always enjoyable. Music starts at 8pm. Just turn up, no pre booking necessary. Then we have two guest nights, followed by another singaround to close the month. Have a look at our upcoming programme here, and do buy your tickets for the guest nights in advance, if you can, it really helps us to plan our seating etc. Thanks for supporting live music!
