WALTHAMSTOW Folk Club celebrates its 20th anniversary this weekend.
Sound Advices raises its glass to the group, who have consistently brought top quality music at reasonable prices to east London, and really helped get the local area on the folk circuit map.
After a brief stay over at the now closed Plough Inn pub, the club is back at Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre pub in Hoe Street, and continues to grow from strength to strength.
To celebrate its special day, the club hosts talented dad and son duo The Mighty Quinns, aka squeezebox maestro Dan and his offspring fiddle, mandolin and melodeon player Matt this Sunday (September 11).
Admission is £6, or £5 for concessions and doors open at 7.30pm.
Country and electric blues band Mouthful of Grass play Walthamstow Cricket Club this Friday (September 9).
Support comes from DJ Lanky Mick and his spinning rootsy tunes.
It's organised by the 17Blues group and doors to the venue in Greenway Avenue open at 8.30pm.
Entry is free, but donations for the band welcome.
Tribute act Creamful headline the Standard on Friday (September 9).
It costs £9 and doors open around 8pm.
The venue is in Blackhorse Lane, Walthamstow.
Duo Lynne Heraud and Pat Turner perform at Loughton Folk Club this Thursday (September 8).
These ladies are known for their wide range of musical styles which blend harmony and humour, often in a rude and silly way! Goodness.
Entry is £5 and doors open at 8pm.
It's at the Loughton Club in Station Road, and there's a £1 discount for members.
Meanwhile promoters What's Cookin' have said they hope to move into a new venue in Leyton soon. The group cut ties with the North Star in Leytonstone for unspecified reasons last month. More news here when the new venue is confirmed.
