Hertfordshire
Hitchin Folk Club, was started in 1963 and has utilised many venues in the area, although The Sun Hotel has been it’s home for some time now. So 2008 it celebrates it’s 45th Birthday. For 41 of those years the acts have been booked by Maureen Jones. She is helped by resident sound man, compere and husband, Keiron Jones. The club is now run as a concert style venue and Maureen has made a lot of friends and acquaintances in the folk world, over the years and has supported lots of musicians from their early days. This support is often paid back with surprise visits back to this venue. In recent years this has included Seth Lakeman and Show of Hands (who both can now fill large auditoriums and festivals).
Shows are on every Sunday, with a short summer break in August and a couple of Sundays in December/January. Doors usually open at 7:30pm and the evening starts at 8:15pm. Another friendly venue run professionally with help from a handful of volunteers. Well worth the visit.
