About Me

It will usually run on the 3rd Saturday of each month 8.30pm (til late!)The Venue is The Village Hall, Kirkby Fleetham, North Yorkshire. Cost of entry will vary depending on the artistes appearing. There will either be a main guest and a couple of floor spots on each evening or two slightly shorter main guest slots. There will be a singaround starting at 7pm, priopr to the acts taking to the stageThe Club takes place in the comfortable, village hall with candles on the tables and subtle stage lighting for the acts…creating a comfortable ambience.Contact me at [email protected] or call Paul Arrowsmith on 01609 748 259.
