** STAY SAFE ** 'HANDS FACE SPACE' ** STAY SAFE ** WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ON *** TUESDAY 23RD APRIL 2024 *** WHEN WE HAVE A CHANGE OF ARTIST and we welcome: Hannah Scott to Dartford Folk Club The best stories elicit profound personal reactions and in the 15 years she has been writing and performing, Hannah Scott has become a consummate storyteller. Her music is shaped by human stories, with family, in all its chaos and glory, sitting at the heart of her work. Her lyrics are powerful and poignant, and her voice feels strangely familiar, though you can't quite put your finger on why. Her writing may be deeply personal but her music has a universal appeal that extends beyond the melodies you catch yourself humming days after listening to her songs. Born in Suffolk and raised by an artist mother and an eccentric entertainer father, with music going back three generations to her songwriting great-grandmother, creativity was always destined to be an integral part of Hannah's life. At the age of four, her father bought a second-hand piano for £ 70 from a friend in the pub and she didn't look back, falling in love with both playing and listening to classical music. Picking up a guitar in her early teens as the influence of her peers and more contemporary music took hold, Hannah taught herself some simple chords that would lay the foundation for her earliest attempts at songwriting. "She reduces women and children to tears - in a good way... " The Guardian " ...and grown men." Tom Besford, English Folk Expo & Richard Haswell, Liverpool Philharmonic "This is beautiful." Dermot O'Leary, BBC Radio 2 "Wonderful songwriting." Seth Lakeman Doors Open at 7.15pm with the evening starting at 8pm. NO RESERVED SEATING! Please do come early if you are planning to sit with a large group of friends. For further information, please E-mail: dartfordfolkclub@gmail.com |

PAM & ALAN COLLS
Founders of the Dartford Folk Club, Pam and Alan Colls ran the Club together for over 40 years, booking an amazing variety of artists within the Folk genre. Sadly both Pam and Alan have passed away but, at our 50th Birthday celebrations in October 2023, the team, guests and audience raised a glass to remember their friendship, achievements and amazing contributions to the music world. The Dartford Folk Club is now managed by a small team of original members in memory of and as a legacy to Pam & Alan's love for music.
