Martin Carthy

Britain's most unique folk club is back once again with another incredible line-up. A chance to catch up with a folk legend and discover new talents on the scene, this is a gig not to miss!

MARTIN CARTHY needs no introduction, having been a cornerstone of the English folk scene for almost six decades. Having turned 80 back in May this year, Martin is still touring the country, sharing the folk tradition with fans and leaving indelible memories wherever he performs.

His last gig at the Toy Museum Folk Club sold out in a flash, so don't miss out on your chance to catch him in this magical venue again.

THOM ASHWORTH is a much newer name in folk, it's true - but we predict he's got a big role to play yet. His 2019 debut album, Head Canon, remains one of the best folk albums in years. Armed with an unforgettable voice, Thom and his bass guitar command your every attention from the moment he hits that first note. An incredible act.

BEN WALKER & LAURA HOCKENHULL will be opening the night with a very rare duo performance. BBC Folk Award winner Ben has been named one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world by Total Guitar magazine, and paired with the evocative vocals of Laura Hockenhull of the Long Hill Ramblers, this will be a set not to miss.

We encourage all attendees to test for COVID 24 hours prior to attendance, and will operate a temperature check on the door to ensure the safety of all involved.
