Next club night – Friday November 7

HUNTER MUSKETT

 A much anticipated return visit from this popular, everlasting folk rock band.  A reviewer of a recent concert of theirs writes:
The band’s performance was full of heart, with tight musicianship and impeccable vocal harmonies. Each member brought their own flair to the table, weaving together intricate arrangements and storytelling that really resonated with the crowd. The atmosphere, at the club, already warm and welcoming, was made all the more special by Hunter Muskett’s presence.
Their chemistry on stage is palpable, making it clear that they are not just a band but a group of friends who truly enjoy making music together. What stood out the most was how they balanced traditional folk with more contemporary touches. They seamlessly moved between stirring ballads and some slightly more upbeat, foot-tapping tunes, keeping the audience thoroughly engaged throughout. It was a night full of joy, laughter, and beautiful music, and I left feeling uplifted.   (Pete Robbins)

Featured Guest

Jackie Ord

Jackie is a  singer songwriter who is always  popular visitor to our club. Here’s how she describes what she does:
As a singer songwriter I create modern folk songs with a lyrically reflective, witty vibe. I’ve been involved in writing, performing and recording music for over 30 years, first in London and now in Suffolk. I perform solo, and  sometimes work with other musicians, especially with  Double Take.   

My songs are about people,  places and situations that have been important in my life.  I also love to sing traditional songs, French songs, popular songs and blues.
