NovemBER'S EVENTS 

Now that the winter month's are here, we need to be mindful of preventing the spread of Covid and flu.. Although neither the Folk Club nor the Barlow are imposing any rules, we do ask that people adhere to the usual common sense precautions and in particular do not attend if they are experiencing symptoms. Thank you.​​

DECemBER'S EVENTS 

December Singaround in the Bar (Reading Room):
Friday 2 Dec 22 8pm, doors open 7:30

All welcome. Come along and bring your songs, tunes, poems and stories to share. Informal atmosphere and there is a collection to cover the cost of hiring the room. I dare say there will be a hint of Christmas material.

December Concert :
Friday 16 Dec 22 8pm, doors open 7:30
plus arrive early 6;30 for Christmas carols and seasonal refreshments in the Bar 

Redmayne with
the Matilda Trio

We are so pleased that we have persuaded Redmayne to head our December concert. These guys perform exciting and uplifting music, a proper band sound,  and have wowed our Festival on many occasions. Their music can be described as an eclectic mix of modern and traditional folk, modern American and Blue Grass. It will be a great not-to-be-missed experience. We are so glad they are "On the Road Again"

Tickets are £10 each, children 16 and uner are free, students 17-21 £5

email folkatthebarlow@gmail.com to book/pay in advance or ring 07427613783

Eleanor Hill, Kate Rothwell and Moira Hill make up the stunning a capella harmony group The Matilda Trio, named after Eleanor's daughter. These are three feisty women with some great songs to sing and messages to impart, with strong, compelling, rich voices that combine together wonderfully in interesting harmonic arrangements. Their vocals have depth, beauty and resonance and their will be plenty of singable choruses.

   Next Zoom Singaround - who knows when??    Just leaving the information here in case we ever have to reinstate them

​

 Virtual Singers and Musicians Night

  starts 8pm  (Zoom entry from 7:30) 

​

A chance to sing and play via Zoom. It has been lovely to meet those from further afield during lockdown times.

You are most welcome to join us as a performer or as a member of the audience. Please email Chris Nash on cnash38913@aol.com and he will email you a link on Friday.

If you receive the link automatically, don't forget to email him back if you would like to perform. The aim is to get "round the room" twice. These sessions have been very popular though, so if it turns out to be just once please bear with us and enjoy the quality and variety of music. 

​

The merits of Zoom are well known now:-​

​

• no matter how far away from Lancashire you are, you can still join us

• you can just join using audio rather than video if you like

• you can join in to play and harmonise to your heart's content while muted

• you can use a microphone, speakers, headphones, equaliser if you have these

• you can use your own drink and catering facilities 

• you can have the words in front of you and no-one will know

• you can put your chorus up on "chat" so that people can join in easily at home

• you can take time out to feed the cats/wash up etc 

• you can wear your slippers

​

Seriously, it's great fun and good to see everyone happily making music. The quality of performance has been excellent, so if you haven't tried it yet, give it a go.

​

If you are performing, Chris has details he can send you about how to make the most of your sound.
