And that's why we still do Singers' Nights! Thanks to all floor performers local and loved, to all those less local who made the journey (some even crossing the North Circ...) - we love you too, and to the performers new to our stage - welcome to our little corner of North London! Thanks also to Ben, Nick and Dave for half-time tunes, Nick for sound, Nakis and team for hosting, to our feature spot - don't forget to check out his Bandcamp - and of course to our ever-generous audience of live music lovers.

Next month - another Adrian. We are excited to welcome with feature spot Zan Lipinski - Thursday October 8 - DO NOT MISS

And while you are waiting, get your tickets for the wonderful San Halen (Sunday November 29 - link in bio)

Thanks everyone for another great year at BPFC. Yes, it was a select crowd who braved the heat between their homes and Mum's, but we had a lovely time - with floor performers from Alejandro (first time out) to Alan (who ran the original Bounds Green Folk Club in the '70s). Blistering half-time tunes courtesy of Olga and Nick and, yes, the PA packed up, everyone moved in and joined in. Special thanks to Eva for taking the situation in her stride and delivering a beautiful showcase set to close the year. That's all for now. We're back in September with another Open mic, with a feature spot from AJ Hyland. Thanks as always to everyone who makes BPFC happen - particularly our hosts . Have a great Summer - stay tuned for our Autumn 2026 programme...
