About Me

Welcome one and all to the Ilkeston Folk Club MySpace Site - Born out of the famous White Cow Folk Club, the Ilkeston Folk Club is an established and friendly club always keen to see new faces and encourage new performers - Meetings are held every Wednesday at The Stute (The Institute - home of Ilkeston Rugby Club, Hallam Fields in Ilkeston) kicking off around 8.30pm. Please follow the link to the Official Website for directions - We have performances or open mic nights rather than the popular sing around style found at many clubs, giving everyone the opportunity to do something, be it folk singing, contemporary music or something else. Although we call ourselves a folk club we enjoy many styles of music: a typical night might include traditional & modern folk music, blues, country music, poetry, in fact just about anything and everything. We believe that folk music is more about folk making music than the subject matter or style - We have our own room for club nights with comfortable seating, with a well stocked bar and toilet facilities. It is on the first floor with access via a flight of wide, easy to negotiate stairs, if you have difficulty with stairs please contact us and we will provide as much help as we possibly can - We provide a simple set up of a six channel P.A. with three microphones, but the room is equally good for singing and playing unplugged - We appreciate performers of all standards and abilities and if you don't want to perform just come and listen, but be warned many a non performer has been bitten by the folkie bug and ended up singing along or even learning to play
