Saltburn Folk Club
​
The club is held in the lounge bar of The Alexandra Vaults which is at the back of Amber Street. The club opens at 7:00 for a 7:30 start and will run until 10:30. All are welcome to our singarounds, any type of acoustic music performance is welcomed, traditional, contemporary, accompanied or not, everyone will be given an opportunity.
We have now introduced an annual membership fee of £3. Membership runs for 12 months from the 1st of October. Thereafter members admission is just £2 which also buys you a ticket for the raffle. Non-members admission will be £3. Concert tickets will be available to members for £8 (maximum 2 tickets) and to non-members at £12 each.
Club Nights
Our Monday night club sessions are an informal gathering with one of the committee acting as MC to ensure the smooth running of the evening. Everyone who wishes to get up and sing and/or play a song or read a poem will be invited to do so by the MC. There is no pressure to do so if you just want to listen. Everyone will get the chance to perform at least one number. After a short break, if there is time, everyone will get a second spot but sometimes we resort to using the free raffle tickets so if your ticket is drawn you can perform yourself or nominate someone else. This always causes a bit of friendly banter between the club regulars.
​
TEMPORARY CHANGE OF VENUE
​
Due to the expected increase in visitors to The Back Alex over the Christmas period precluding our exclusive use of the lounge, the club will be held at Saltburn House from Nov 24 to Dec 15. We will be using the dining room, which is private, drinks can be obtained from the main bar. There will be a buffet provided at the party on Dec 15th so please let us know if you plan to come so we know how much to order. Please note that this will be free event for members only.

​Our first concert of the year featuring HAZJAK, supported by Ron & Pat Keedy, was a great success and was very well attended. The change of venue to Saltburn Community Hall proved to be very popular. Our second concert on Sept 19th featured "Union Jill" supported local duo by "Stormcrow".
​
Tickets are now available, through the link below, for our next concert on Nov 8th featuring York based celtic band "Leather'o" supported by local country duo John Brady & Les Snaith.
