The background:

The regular song and music sessions in Tenterden have been running since 1992 when they started in the old Eight Bells, our home for over 10 years. Several moves later they settled at The William Caxon in April 2011 before relocating to This Ancient Boro in July 2022 and moved to The Tenterden Club in November 2024 where they remained until August 2026..

 

A typical folk evening sees between 10 and twenty folk singers and musicians from Kent and Sussex gathering in the bar from around 7.00 p.m. and the music starts at about 7.30 and continues to around 10.30.  All folk singers, musicians, storytellers and poets are welcome to come along and join in, or you can just come and listen to the music.  The music is mainly traditional English but also includes contemporary, blues, Irish, Scottish, European music, music hall and acapella: in fact most good acoustic music with a smattering of stories and poems
