Starting today 🙌. Happy weekend😊. We are playing tomorrow at 6pm, looking forward to hearing all the acts over the weekend with maybe a nice glass of chilled something 🍷🍻

Come along to a fantastic weekend of free folk sessions and workshops too. We are playing Saturday at 6pm. But will be staying all day to enjoy fabulous music, workshops and tune session. See you then.
On Tuesday -Open Night at The Hoy with a big difference. As well as floor spots we have the spectacular rising star of folk, Maddie Morris, to give us a 50 minute set. This is a chance to see which cannot be missed! (Still at Open Night prices -£2 members;£4 non- members.
I have been wanting to see and hear Maddie for ages. She has made a real name for herself. I was just looking at reports of the gig she just did with O’Hooley and Tidow - sounds spectacular! I can’t wait!
On Tuesday we have a real treat for you! Aaron Catlow (virtuoso fiddle player) and Brooks Williams @BrooksRedGuitar (top rank guitarist) are giving us an evening of folk, Americana, roots. The music and song are off- the-scale brilliant - do not miss this!!!
Anna Scher, who has just died, nurtured so many brilliant working-class actors. She was a one-off, treated like shite by those who should have known better but adored by those she taught. Five years ago some of them told me how she changed their lives

Taken a moment to process the sad news of losing Anna Scher this weekend. An honour to have known and be taught by someone so special. Perhaps the best way to remember Anna is through stories… Thread 🧵
RIP Magnificently mighty and wonderful, Anna Scher. Pictured here with partner in crime, the gorgeous Charles Verrall who passed away only last month. These two people were responsible for 100’s of us having a better life. We thank you and love you. ♥️🎭
Last night I was compelled to look up Anna Scher whose classes I attended in the 80's, only to find out that she sadly died 2 days ago. She was such a unique & compelling character, using creativity to raise & enrich the lives of so many young people. Her legacy will never end.
“And her heart is full and hollow
Like a cactus tree
While she's so busy being free”
Ease into the weekend with the sounds of Joni's "Cactus Tree," performed at the BBC Television Centre 53 years ago today.
🎶You fill me like the sea, Lord
Not coming past, but still at last
Your love brings life to me
Your love brings life to me, hey!🎶

Even this small clip gets me😭😭 not just because it's @jonimitchell and @brandicarlile but it's so wonderful to see such joy, inclusivity and female representation in harmony. It's good to see how things have changed and be reminded of that positivity. Such a lift😊
