Wortley Folk
Club. Always a great night out! Dave does a brilliant job organising
varied and extremely good guest artists who cover a huge range of
different music and the floor singers who always do a brilliant job -
without loads of techno gadgets to enhance the sound and vision - these
are true stars.. It never ceases to amaze me how many instruments there
are out there and our guest and floor singers all seem to be able to
play not just one many of these. Folk is not just fiddles.
Bill you'r doing
a brilliant job with the web site. Its informative and entertaining and
even I can negotiate my way round it. Its great to be able to sample
the guest material before they perform at the club or to refresh the
memory with some who have been before.
If anyone reading
this hasn't been to our club come and try it. It is cosy and friendly
and we try to make everyone welcome. I have been attending for 12 years
now and have made many friends.
Finally a big
thanks to Dave and his team of helpers without who the show wouldn't go
on. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ALL OF YOU.

WRP Thanks for the feedback on both the
club and the web site. Could not agree with you more about the
quality of the floor singers and Dave's choice of guest artistes.
Thanks also for the comments on the web site, if you would like any
changes or additions, please let me know.

19th
June & another grand night at the Black Bull.
Once
again club supremo Dave and his team had booked some brilliant guest
performers, with superb young fiddle player & singer Rosie Carson
(only 18 years of age!) teamed with superb old (I shouldn't say that
should I ? well I suppose everything's relative!!) guitarist &
singer Kevin Dempsey, on the penultimate date of their debut UK tour.
What musicians! And what a polished, accomplished and entertaining
couple of sets, the only complaint being they were too short!
Wortley
Folk is a great club with a great atmosphere and in a room that's
really good to sing in too! Which reminds me to put in a word for the
excellent contributions of the floor singers, the quality and variety
of which, always a reliable indicator of a thriving folk club, never
lets Wortley Folk down.
And
all of which set the tone for a thoroughly enjoyable evening that was
well worth the long trip. Keep up the good work Dave

What a grand night out at
the "Wortley Folk Club", Johnny Silvo at his best I hope I am as good
as him when I get to his age. We have seen him quiet a few times. His
love for music plain to see and of cause the audience warm to him. "The
Wortley Folk Club" takes some beating for atmosphere. We have known the
club for at least 15 years and made some life long friends. The club
boasts people from all walks of life and if they are not talking about
folk music they are chatting about what's been happening to them over
the last month, (basically one big social event).
A mention must go to the regular floor singers who come on before the
main guests, some of them keep coming back year on year that speaks for
itself as to how good the atmostphere in the club is.
Dave Atkin the lynch pin of the club is so laid back, and has a habit
of finding the best artists in the folk scene or at least the ones we
like to hear. I must mention Margaret, Bill and Barbara who also help
to keep the cart/club on the rails.
So if you want a relaxed and enjoyable evening and love music" Wortley
Folk Club" is your place.

WRP I must
admit that Johnny is one of my favourite guests and agree that he seems
to get better with age! Thanks for the thanks - makes it worthwhile
