Traditional and old fashioned songs, dances and tunes in mid-Kent

Nigel Hobbins back at the Frittenden session, 8pm Sunday 24th April

Charming Whitstable singer of traditional, old fashioned and newly written songs Nigel Hobbins is coming to Frittenden once again on the 24th April – and we’re delighted to have him back.

Look out for Little Willie’s Wild Woodbines and Golden Days among others…

Btw, Nigel helps to run Whitstable folk club at the town’s Labour Club and Julie and Gavin Atkin are playing there on the  29th April – how did that happen!

An added event on the 19th March – a FREE guitar workshop

We’ve decided to add a FREE guitar workshop event all about playing simple but effective guitar accompaniments for English dance music led by Florida guitarist Gavin Atkin from 3pm on the 19th March. It’ll be in the hall at the back of the Bell & Jorrocks. You’ll need a guitar, of course. All you have to do is go to the bar and buy a drink…
