Sheffield Folk Celebration Weekend

Sat Nov 23rd "Remembering Gerry Bates & Judith Wilford" / Sun Nov 24th "Celebrating 10 Years of Sam & James on Thank Goodness It's Folk"

Join hosts Sam Hindley, James Fagan and Pete Smith for an incredible weekend of top-drawer live folk music, sessions, a rare folk vinyl auction and Sheffield carols, all under one roof. We have drawn together two wonderful events into a weekend festival, and it's very affordable! We hope to fill Crookes Social Club on both days - and all profits are going to two important charities - Alzheimer's Research UK and Brain Tumour Research. One £30 ticket will get you into every event over the whole weekend. Individual day tickets just £20. And just look who is performing: Saturday 23rd Nov: Martin Simpson, Melrose Quartet, Underground Sun, Pete Smith, Alec Thompson, Sheffield City Morris Sunday 24th Nov: Tim Van Eyken, Rosie Hood Band, Culverake, plus live folk DJs Sam Hindley and James Fagan There will also be sessions and communal singing on both days, and an auction of Gerry Bates's rare folk vinyl collection, donated by the late Judith Wilford to raise money for the charities mentioned above.
