NEXT UP AT GRAYSHOTT FOLK CLUB:
Saturday 3rd May 2025 @ 7.30pm
HONEY & THE BEAR + FRIENDS
This gig has now been incorporated into The Haslemere Festival 2025 so we hope to reach some new people and give them the opportunity to savour the wonderful music we have on offer.
Here is the link to the full programme of events for The Haslemere Festival 2025: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/HaslemereFestival2025?fbclid=IwY2xjawJDjMxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHRYZvCJzz3pR8o52GRGsAJ6uVE0djbCRug6DL2jKhG1a6xb7E9Fx7iLgnQ_ aem_BNi2JFCSdk1TEjchwAkNpg#page/4
Honey & The Bear have visited us twice before (May 2022 and November2023), so we know what to expect; wonderful singing, brilliant musicianship and songs about Suffolk folklore, courageous people they admire, their passion for Nature and a heartbreak or two.
Honey & The Bear are: Lucy Hart (Guitar,Ukelele, Bass, Banjo, Mandolin, Percuusion and Lead Vocals) and Jon Hart (Guitar, Bass, Bouzouki, Vocals). They have been songwriting since teaming up together in 2014. They have played at revered venues and top festivals across the UK, as well as touring Europe. They have supported Sam Kelly and The Lost Boys on two UK tours and opened for The Shires at the world renowned Snape Maltings.
One of the highlights of their musical career to date was a sold out, headlining show at Snape Maltings. You can see and hear them here:

You'll notice that Jon and Lucy have some of their friends with them on stage and we are delighted that they will be appearing at Grayshott with:
Toby Shaer (Whistles, Harmonium, Flute, Fiddle, Bass.
Archie Churchill-Moss (Melodeon)
Evan Carson (Percussion, Drums, Bodhran).
All three are top Folk musicians who are very sought after by a range of bands and all of them have played at Grayshott before.
This promises to be a great night of music as Honey & The Bear reflect back over more than ten years together. In that time they have produced three excellent full-length albums and they will cherry-pick audience favourites and the songs and tunes they love to play.

ADAM BEATTIE & FIONA BEVAN
We knew that Adam and Fiona were on an extensive tour of the UK together and spotted a date that hadn't been filled and as we had no one booked for June, it seemed only natural that we should ask them back as we so enjoyed their gig with us in February 2024.

A little bit of Grayshott Folk Club history:
Grayshott Folk Club went live with our first ever gig on
22nd January 2011. The main aim of Grayshott Folk Club is to bring "quality live music at affordable prices " to Grayshott, which is a village near HINDHEAD in South-West Surrey but Grayshott Village Hall itself, is actually situated just inside the Hampshire border by about 50 yards and is officially the biggest village hall in the whole of Hampshire.
We mostly host Folk bands/musicians and our past guests have included;
Acoustic Strawbs, Altan,
Ashley Hutchings/Blair Dunlop/Becky Mills, Belshazzar's Feast, Bob Fox, Breabach, Coig, Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies, Jon Wilks,
Katherine Priddy, Kris Drever + Chris Stout, Lau, Melrose Quartet, Merry Hell, O'Hooley & Tidow,
Sam Carter/Sam Sweeney, Sam Kelly/Jamie Francis,
St. Agnes' Fountain,
SilverBlues
(Ric Sanders, Ray Jackson, Vo Fletcher and Tom Leary),
Steve Wickham (ex-The Waterboys) & Ray Coen,
Tannahill Weavers,The Bully Wee Band, The Churchfitters,
The Young 'Uns and Tide Lines, amongst many others.
We occasionally stray off-piste with a little bit of live Americana/Pop/Rock/Prog Rock music and
Caravan, Colin Blunstone & Band, James Yorkston/Nina Persson, Jarrod Dickenson, Joe Topping & Scott Poley, Linda Lewis, Mike d'Abo, Police Dog Hogan,
The Christians and The Leisure Society
have all played for us since we started out.
Basically, we do whatever we can, to keep it live, keep it local and to keep hungry 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
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:
Grayshott Post Office, Crossways Road, Grayshott GU26 6HJ
Alternatively, you can call Des O'Byrne on 01428 607096
or e-mail me at: grayshottfolkclub@btinternet.com
for all enquiries relating to Grayshott Folk Club.
