Show of
Hands Backlog Tour www.showofhands.co.uk Steve and
Phil present a selection from their extensive back catalogue.
Always a sell-out, this show will be in the new Theatre on the
Hill at St. John’s School, with great sight lines, sound
and lights. This is acoustic music with attitude. Chris and
Julie return with their unique mix of touching songs, powerful
harmony singing and joie de vivre. An evening of outstanding entertainment
guaranteed to put a smile on your face. A rare solo
show from Phil featuring an eclectic mix of his influences from
The Hollies to Springsteen by way of English and American traditional
music. Great songs delivered in Phil’s inimitable style with
subtle accompaniment on guitar, mandolin and fiddle. Book early
for this ever popular Christmas show guaranteed to get the festive
season off on the right note. Now in its 11th year this mix of
singing, musicianship and sardonic humour is always a delight

The Club What's on? (You'll need Adobe Acrobat reader to see this - get a free download here). Highlights for autumn 2011 include: •14
Oct - ANDY CLARKE AND STEVE TYLER The club runs a mixture of “club nights” – informal singarounds for floor singers – and guest nights (the guest spots are about an hour and a quarter, with a break). You can come along and just listen, or you can sing a song or play a tune. Our material is mainly traditional, but with a large smattering of songs from the current folk scene, as well as other stuff. We welcome performers of all abilities. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging, so come along and have a go! It doesn’t matter how good you are – we all had to start somewhere! Where &
When Milton Road Club is on the south side of Milton Road, between the Canal Walk Bridge and Tennyson Street. This is buried in Swindon's one-way system, so we recommend you use Multimap or Google Maps - even if you have satnav. Enter the postcode and figure out your route beforehand! (Google's Streetview will be helpful too.) When you get inside Milton Road Club, turn to your left and you'll see the Function Room, where we meet, in front of you. Contact Us Admission Club Nights: £3.50, concessions £2.50. Swindon Folksingers’ Club is a not-for-profit organization. |

Club evenings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month and is hosted by Malcolm Shipp of The Sodburys. All are welcome, audience and musicians alike. If you can play an instrument, sing a song, recite a poem or tell a great joke then please come along and join us. It is de...liberately called an acoustic club, not a folk club so expect to hear a wide range of musical styles. Most evenings will have a featured paid act that will do 2 x 35 minutes and the rest of the time will be taken up by floor spots which are given out on a first come first serve basis, depending on how many turn up you may get to play 3 songs, it might only be 1 though! Format is simple, arrive by 7.30 - 7.45 and put your name down if you want to perform and we'll try to fit you in. Except for evenings where national acts are booked, the entrance fee is £2, this may rise to £3 in 2011. Same price for audience and floor spot players. There is a raffle at each event which is claimed to be the biggest raffle of any music club in Wiltshire with between 8 and 10 prizes always on offer no matter how many turn up. By paying to get in this entitles you to one night temporary membership to Seend Community Centre and thus allows you to avail the use of the bar for drinks at club prices. There are well kept real ales, traditional cider and everything else you'd expect. Oh, and we usually hand round free chocolates too, we're just nice and friendly like that. Please come along soon and enjoy the relaxed living room attitude of this club! Forthcoming acts
Here is a gig coming up: 4th October
