Hove Folk Club
Home Page
Hove Folk Club means:
- Live words, music and performance...
- In a room above a pub: the Poet's Corner (formerly The Eclipse), Montgomery Street, Hove...
- Usually on the first Friday of every month (but sometimes on the second), from 8pm to 11pm...
- New in 2011, occasional mid-month specials (see the Upcoming page)...
- The Poets' Corner offers food as well as serving Harveys' fine ales...
- And admission is a fiver minimum.
Who could ask for more?
Although the Poets' Corner used to serve customers until midnight on Fridays, this concession ceased as from March 2011. The idea is still that the music ends around 11, but now we have to be heading downstairs by 11:10. So we still have all the great music, and anybody needing to catch trains home needn't risk missing them!
Admission is on the basis of first-come, first-served on the night. The minimum cost of entry is £5 per person; but if you are not unwaged / a student / skint for other reasons / a floor performer, a voluntary donation over and above that sum would be much appreciated.
The resident is Robb Johnson (thoroughgoing singer-songwriter). Floor performers are very welcome.
