Welcome to Spalding Folk Club
Some of our relatives
Martin Browne and Elizabeth Padgett
Our very own, now becoming known further afield too.
Angela King and Paul Dickinson
Everything you could wish to know about the people who sing to goats.
Miranda Sykes
She's a fantastic singer and bass player who is Spalding born and bred. Miranda still plays now and again with Show of Hands and is also now part of Daphne's Flight. She's a proper star, catch one her solo gigs if you can.
The Beltonas
A great ceilidh band in their day, but in hibernation for the time being due to illness.
Akmed's Camel
The artistes formerly known as Akmed's Camel. And then weren't. And now are again. Another terrific ceilidh band with many years experience
The Acoustic Itch
This great song band comprises Kim and Phil Biggs, Mark Addison and Dave Tucker.
Much rockier version of the Acoustic Itch with expanded line-up and different repertoire.
Slapdash
The South Lincolnshire Appalachian Dance Show. Meets for practice on most Tuesday evenings at St Mary’s Church Hall, Pinchbeck.
Very professionally produced fortnightly newsletter and webpage listing a huge number of online and live gigs. A labour of love for ex resident of Spalding and Slapdash dancer, Lucy Shields.
The South Holland Centre
Our local arts centre, sadly underfunded since the pandemic.
Tom Lane presents Lincolnshire Folk for an hour on Friday evenings 9-10pm. You can listen live via LCRFM website or any time on catch-up via Mixcloud. Magic!
The Barn at Baston
Another local venue presenting top-class folk and traditional music.
Southwell Folk Festival
Started in 2007 and now established as our region's main festival event.
Fizgig
Tom and Ali Beaumont’s listings, information and magazine site. Everything musical that’s worth knowing about in Lincolnshire and beyond.
Peterborough Folk Diary
Folk music listings for north Cambridgeshire, south Lincs, west Norfolk and east Northants
Going away? Folk Map will tell you exactly where to sample the local folk music. And we're on it too.
UK Folk Festivals
Just what it says on the tin - could be time to book up your holidays
Bright Young Folk
Fed up with grey beards? This site is strictly clean-shaven.
Now definitely nailed to the perch after their final gig on 15th October 2011. The site is still there, for future historians to discover.
