FULL 2024-2025 PROGRAMME HERE
NEXT EVENING – FRIDAY MARCH 7
7.45 for 8.00
Chris Fox
We look forward to welcoming singer songwriter Chris Fox, a genre defying Folk troubadour who has made rapid progress through the UK folk and roots scene with his song writing, utilising a variety of styles across the roots lexicon of traditional and contemporary folk, Americana, Country and Blues. 
Audiences are enthralled by his rich vocals, complex guitar playing, and loop pedal alchemy finding Chris to be humorous and thought provoking in equal measures. His naturally laid back, unostentatious style creates the perfect ambience for an intimate and inclusive live experience drawing listeners in with tales of both the everyday and the unexpected. The last time he came to Hadleigh, he went down a storm with our audience.
Find out more about Chris from his website HERE.
Our Featured guests for the evening are The Browns, singer-songwriters who started singing together in 2019 after reconnecting in 2015. They met as teenagers at a school dance and lost touch after arrangements for their first date went awry, but the intervening years has given them plenty of material for their songs.
Known for their rich and expressive blend of voices in harmony they have performed at festivals and folk club venues across East Anglia and beyond. There is more information on their website HERE.
Hadleigh Folk and Acoustic Music Nights are normally, though not always, held on the first Friday of the month – from September to June. Address:
The Ansell Centre, Market Place, Hadleigh IP7 5DL.
We feature folk music in the broadest sense of the word. In addition to “traditional” and “contemporary” folk music, you can expect to hear hints of pop, country, jazz or even classical music.
