Saltburn Folk Club
​
The club is being held for a trial period 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.
​
The second of our trial sessions at The Alexandra Vaults went very well with a good attendance for an excellent Spotlight set by Ed Mitchell. A good selection of regular members, and a few visitors provided a broad range of floor spots in support. The pool table had been moved out of the way so providing a better environment with a clearer performing area. The pub management are very keen for us continue there and are happy to move things around to help us find the best layout.

Our first concert of the year featuring HAZJAK, supported by Ron & Pat Keedy, was a great success and was very well attended. Photographs are on our Facebook page and a full review of the evening will be published here shortly. The change of venue to Saltburn Community Hall proved to be very popular and we look forward to hosting further concerts there later in the year.
