Blackpool Folk Club

Whilst holidaying in Blackpool for a few days we attended the Blackpool Folk Club which is held in the Clarence Pub, Preston New Road Blackpool. We had a fantastic evening with music provided by local band "Four in a Row" and their guests for the evening, who were called "Thistle". The atmosphere was friendly and the standard of singing was excellent. In particular the fiddle player with the band Thistle I have yet to hear better.

Glenfarg Folk Club

While staying in Scotland recently we visited the Glenfarg Folk Club . This is easy to get to and if you are staying in Fife/Perthshire or Angus on Holiday it is worth a visit on a Monday night .We visited on 23rd February 2009 when the guest was Gareth Davies -Jones . He is an excellent singer songwriter with his performance based on his recent CD "Water and Light "
