About Redbourn Folk Club

The Redbourn Folk Club, formerly known as The Hollybush Folk Club, was established over fifteen years ago and meets on Thursday evenings from 8:15 pm to 11:15 pm in The Cricketers Public House, The Common, Redbourn (near St Albans) Herts, AL3 7ND. 

Now moved from its Hollybush residence up the road, the newly named Redbourn Folk Club was started over 13 years ago by Linda Fryd and originally met at The Engineer pub in Harpenden. The club has always maintained a fairly wide ranging music policy featuring traditional and contemporary folk, blues and many of today's singer-songwriters. Guests have included many well known names from the folk scene, along with lesser known and local performers. The club has also taken an active role in the St Albans Folk Festival and in 2000 featured Jeremy Taylor as their special Festival Guest. There are a number of regular performers at the club including Martin Dent (Luton based singer-songwriter), Chris Lawrance (bluegrass and old-time singer, guitarist and banjo player), Run of the Mill (local vocal duo Jenny McNaught and Alan Halse), Richard Scruton (blues/folk and half of 'Rich Pickings'), and Malcolm Hobbs (multi instrumentalist and singer).

There is a charge of £4-£6 for guest nights and £2 for singers nights - get there very early to ensure a floorspot.
