It even has pictures and everything..... ------------------------------------------ Grayshott is a village which lies on the borders of Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. It is just off the main A3 trunk road, about 40 miles South of London and 30 miles North of Portsmouth, near the World famous Hindhead Tunnel (that is shut almost as often as it is open......). The Folk Club started up on 22nd January 2011 and our spiritual home and the venue we use most often is: Grayshott Village Hall, Headley Road, GRAYSHOTT, Nr. HINDHEAD, Surrey GU26 6TZ Grayshott Village Hall has ample parking around it and is fully wheelchair accessible.
We also use other venues nearby for our events, including; Grayshott Social Club, GU26 6HL St. Alban's Church, Hindhead GU26 6RB and Haslemere Educational Museum GU27 2AL Occasionally, we put on joint promotions at St. John's Church in Farncombe, Nr Guildford, Surrey with Farncombe Music Club.
The main aim of Grayshott Folk Club is to offer: "Quality live music at affordable prices". There are no membership, subscription or joining fees. EVERYONE of all ages is welcome to ALL of our gigs.
We pride ourselves in introducing Folk perfomers from all over the World to our audiences, as well as giving performance opportunities to young and local musicians. We have often spotted "the next big thing" ahead of time and we sometimes venture off-piste with gigs by Pop, Rock, Prog Rock and Blues bands. Expect the unexpected at Grayshott Folk Club!

Friday 16th June 2017 MIKE d'ABO & FRIENDS:
Mike d'Abo-Keyboards/Vocals Steve Degutis-Guitar/Vocals Dik Cadbury-Bass Guitar/Vocals
"Manfred Mann, The Manfreds and other songs and stories"
Mike d'Abo was lead singer on Manfred Mann's hits: "Ragamufiin Man", "Ha-Ha Said The Clown", "My Name Is Jack" and their massive No 1 smash "Mighty Quinn". He has also written big hits for other people, notably "Build Me Up Buttercup" and "Handbags and Gladrags" (recorded by Chris Farlowe, Rod Stewart and The Stereophonics). He also wrote some of the catchiest and memorable jingles for T.V. commercials.
Mike continues to front The Manfreds who are one of this country's busiest gigging bands and occasionally he gets to talk about what he has done and perform a few of his past hits in a small, intimate venue like Grayshott Village Hall.
It takes a special person to stay at the top of the Pop music business. One such person is Mike d'Abo. He has performed and written some of the most memorable Pop tunes from the '60s and tonight he'll guide us gently through his career and give us an insight into the World of Pop. Poptastic!
+ Days Are Done-a lively, poppy couple from Kingston, Surrey whose live performances are full of passion and enthusiasm. They'll lift your spirits for sure.

Low Lily are masterful players, composers and arrangers with deep relationships to traditional music styles ranging from Bluegrass to Irish, Scottish, New England and Old Time Appalachian.
