Special events
Every 4th Sunday: Michelle's Music Nights. Starts about 8 pm.
A broad-ranging evening of folk-based music and words named in memory of
Michelle Holding, who hosted the sessions with Bonz Barnes from their
resumption after Covid to the end of 2023. Come along to sing, share
and listen to traditional, contemporary and instrumental folk, plus
poetry, blues and country, in a singaround format. Contact Bonz at:
bonz1@btinternet.com for enquiries, or to add your name to the mailing list.
Note that it is not the last Sunday. Often it's the same thing but not always.
The next one will be on April 27.

LOVE MUSIC HATE RACISM PRESENTS HOLLY CARTER AND HER SHOW “DON’T MOURN – ORGANISE!” (a tribute to Joe Hill).
Multi-award-winning instrumentalist and singer-songwriter who, at 29 years old, has already established a reputation as one of Bristol’s leading fingerstyle guitarists and is one of the UK’s only professional female pedal steel players. Holly performs a live tribute to one of America's most prolific and influential musical troubadours. Joe Hill was a Swedish-American activist, and musician. He became a household name in 1914 after his controversial trial and subsequent execution for murder; many argued that he had been framed for his political activities.
Tickets (£10 ADV, £12 OTD) available from the club, George Street Community Bookshop or Wegottickets.
