Grayshott Folk Club started up on 22nd January 2011 with the aim of bringing "quality live music at affordable prices " to Grayshott, which is a village near HINDHEAD in South-West Surrey.
We mostly host Folk bands/musicians but occasionally stray off-piste with a little bit of Americana/Pop/Rock music and we do what whatever we can, to keep musicians off our streets......
Our first choice venue is:
Grayshott Village Hall,
Headley Road,
Grayshott,
Nr. HINDHEAD,
Surrey GU26 6TZ
and from time to time, we also use
Grayshott Social Club, Hill Road, Grayshott,
Nr. HINDHEAD Surrey GU26 6HL
and
St. Alban's Church, Tilford Road,
HINDHEAD, Surrey GU26 6RB
as venues to host our live music events.
If you wish to buy tickets for our gigs, you can buy them in person from either:
Grayshott Post Office, Crossways Road, Grayshott GU26 6HJ
or
Haslemere Bookshop, High Street, HASLEMERE, Surrey GU27
Alternatively you can call Des O'Byrne on 01428 607096
or e-mail me at:
family@obyrne1.plus.com
We also sell tickets online through Ents24 but please be advised that there is a 10% surcharge when you use this service.

and JOHN BLEK
Ben Walker is a superb, award-winning acoustic guitarist and with his former musical partner Josienne Clarke, recoreded six albums and won the BBC Radio 2 Folk Duo of the Year Award in 2015. Ben is a multi-instrumentalist who is also a highly-sought after producer. He has been involved in recording everything from Punk to Proms.
He has now launched his solo career and will be playing both contemporary and traditional tunes in his own, inimitable style.
JOHN BLEK
Irishman John Blek has now released six albums. He plays guitar brilliantly and sings his self-written songs with a deep passion. His voice could be likened to those of Roy Orbison and Clfford T. Ward. Although not well-known here yet, he most certainly deserves wider attention and appreciation.
Listen to him singing/playing "Lace" here:
