Folk at the Barlow is a not-for-profit organisation. Our aim is to encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy and participate in folk music and song. Both the folk club and the Festival are run by unpaid volunteers. There is a singaround on the first Friday of each month and a concert on the third Friday of each month.
Concert tickets are £12.50 each. Children's tickets (16 and under) are free and students 21 and under are half price. The Barlow is a fabulous venue with a great stage which has state-of-the art sound and lighting. There is a separate bar serving local ale etc.

A cappela fans will be delighted that Folk at the Barlow are once again proud to feature the brothers Wilson. With fabulous lusty four-part harmonies of mainly traditional songs, often North-East inspired, they are one of the few acts capable of filling our hall with a big surround-sound without the need for microphones, (though there may be some around). Tom, Chris, Steve and Mike have been delighting audiences since 1974 though, wait, how old was Mike then ...? Their authenticiity and the blending of sibling voices give them a unique flavour. An act not to be missed!
Supporting the Wilsons, and in complete contrast, will be local band MALpractice. They bring Americana and feel-good sing-along songs on guitar & vocals (Martin) , fiddle (Lesley) and drums (Andrew) performed in a lively, tasteful and gentle way, and with great musicianship. Always enjoyable!
