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.
We mostly host Folk bands/musicians and our past guests have included;
Altan, Ashley Hutchings/Blair Dunlop, Belshazzar's Feast, Breabach, Coig, Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies, Lau, Merry Hell, O'Hooley & Tidow, Sam Carter/Sam Sweeney, Strawbs,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 Americana/Pop/Rock music and
Caravan, Colin Blunstone & Band, 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

as venues to host our live music events.

John Blek
JOHN BLEK
John is a gentle giant who hails from Cork in the Republic of Ireland. He is a gifted singer/song writer/guitarist who has written some beautiful but powerful songs, many of which reflect his own personal experiences, not all of which have been happy ones....
He came and played for us in April 2019 and proved to be very popular with our audience. We've been.iting for the right time to invite him back again, when both of our schedules coincide and we are delighted to welcome him back.
If you didn't see him last time around, make a special effort to, this time. Time is always well spent in John's company and will prove to be both enjoyable and thought-provoking. Check out John's bittersweet song "Lace" here:
