Sadly, we have had to postpone our live concert
scheduled for
Saturday 24th April 2021
at
Grayshott Village Hall GU26 6TZ
when we had hoped our guests would be:
INDIA ELECTRIC Co.
"Without Lisa"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV9CpT984ok&ab_channel=IndiaElectricCo.
"The Gulley"
owing to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions which may still in place at that time.........and the lack of notice to properly advertise, publicise and promote this event.
We hope to reschedule it for October 2021.
Please check back for upates.
--------------------------------------------
Clearly, events after March 2020 were beyond our control and whilst we had to postpone a dozen gigs or more last year, we are proud to say that we did still witness some memorable performances in the second half of the year, those being:
Katherine Priddy/Jon Wilks
September 26th 2020
Zoe Wren + Hannah Dorman
October 22nd 2020
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Performers whose gigs we had to postpone in 2020, included:
Siobhan Miller, Bob Fox, Oysters 3, Daphne's Flight, John Blek,
Tannahill Weavers, Fara, Tim Edey, Jonny Coppin,
Honey & The Bear and Becky Mills.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sadly, owing to continuing Covid-19 restrictions in 2021, we have so far had to postpone planned gigs with:
The Bully Wee Band, The Leisure Society, John Blek, Merry Hell, The Way Down Wanderers (due to be on tour from the USA), McGoldrick, McCusker & Doyle and Daphne's Flight.
We fully intend to re-arrange gigs with these performers,
IF and WHEN possible.

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.
We mostly host Folk bands/musicians and our past guests have included;
Altan, Ashley Hutchings/Blair Dunlop/Becky Mills, Belshazzar's Feast, Breabach, Coig, Jez Lowe & The Bad Pennies, Jon Wilks, Katherine Priddy, 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/Prog 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
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.
