About the Club.....
Penzance Folk
Club was started in early 2008 by Alan & Linda Collins. Nowadays
the club continues to run successfully with elected officers and
committee, and the welcome help from a number of members and performers.
In 2018, following a change of management at the Admiral Benbow,
the club moved premises and now takes place at the Bath Inn, Cornwall
Terrace, Penzance.
The club runs alternate Wednesdays from 8.00-11.00pm; most evenings
are "Round the Room" sessions where everyone has an opportunity
to sing, play a tune or tell a story - there is no obligation to
perform and audience are very welcome.
Although the club originated from a background of traditional music,
most evenings have a welcome mix of music and song, often including
contemporary songs, tunes (some Cornish), American old timey, music
hall songs, blues and occasional items of classic pop!
Round the Room sessions are free of charge, but we always run a
raffle to raise funds to subsidise our guest nights. Tickets for
guest nights are sold through www.crbo.co.uk.
