Cheque-Mates Folk 'N' Roots Music Club

Cheque-Mates Folk 'N' Roots Music Club Hear something different from Folk Roots self-penned conpositions, anything goes! Thank you,
Sandra Tim, Bryan and Bob

Founded by Sandra Robinson and the late Fred Rogers October 1991

Club Hosted by Claret folk roots music Band and Bob Allaway, Folk Song writer in traditional style. We are committed to not excluding any acoustic music and we remain a club who book mainly folk acts most months. 20 Minute features are on offer but please get in touch and prebook. We hope our audience and regular artists support the

guest nights, because with the decline of clubs booking travelling artists we want to keep this culture alive, it could be you who has the next gig and need audience support. We support artists who are not necessarily well known but have a passion and ability to enrich our experience in live performance. Support your local Folk/roots club especially when they have a guest night, with a unique up close and personal setting to see artists first hand.

Sandra and Tim were away last week, thanks to Bryan for looking after the club. Here's his report as he doesn't do social media. Hope to hear from our supporters who were there so please comment her and share. Thanks!
Hi Sandra
We had a great night!..we did the whole night acoustically!
It was nice to see Nigel again.
We had eight acts:
Bryan
Steve Booton
John Rushton
Trish
Nigel
Eve
Ian
Steve 2
As before, we mixed and matched on some of the songs, and people joined in on the choruses!
So everyone had two numbers each in the 1st and 2nd half of the evening.
A nice mix of tunefull, thoughtfull and silly!
And Yes! We did have a raffle! ( With Trish's kind help).
We finished the night about 10:50 on time!
So all in all an enjoyable night!
Love to you both.
Bryan.
Thank-you Bryan! Claret full line-up will be there next time! Remember we're 2nd and 4th Thursdays! We want some photos!

Please send us some photos and posts when you see us tonight!
