Tuesday evenings GUEST LIST FOR 2019 8.30 - 11.00 ** FULL LIST OF ARTISTS TO THE END OF THE YEAR ** |

*** TUESDAY 17th DECEMBER 2019 *** we welcome Phil Beer and his special guest Zoe Wren as our guests! "Phil is one of the most popular ambassadors for acoustic roots music. A dazzling instrumentalist, he is perhaps best known as a top flight fiddler." THE TRUTH... according to the man himself... Whilst that may be the perception, I would actually take issue with that statement. I didn’t write it. I’m very good at what I do. The trick is to design what you do in order to accommodate your limitations. That's why I don’t teach. I leave that to the pros. I’m too busy gigging or making albums anyway! The perpetual problem of being a 'Z' list muso/celebrity is how to describe yourself. The most onerous task of all is trying to big yourself up and exaggerate past exploits. I’ve now been ‘on the road’ for 45 years. I’m amazed I’m still standing. I’ve made hundreds of albums with bands/singers/musicians and done gigs with them. Some are world famous, some you’ve never heard of. The dumbest and most pathetic thing in existence is to see a musician's CV... that lists the people that they may just have been with on the same bill on the same day at some festival as people that they’ve ‘worked with’.... This is why my catchphrase is: "Phil Beer. Plays guitar and fiddle, sings a bit." Sums it up. Tonight, Phil's guest will be singer, musician and songwriter ZOE WREN. ** We are delighted to welcome back PHIL BEER to Dartford Folk Club!! ** | |||

PAM COLLS
It is four years since our very dear friend Pam Colls passed away. Co-founder of the Dartford Folk Club, with her husband Alan, they ran the Club together for over 40 years, booking an amazing variety of artists within the Folk genre. Alan has recently decided to take a back seat from running the club. The Dartford Folk Club continues to run as usual, with a small team of original members, in memory of and as a legacy to Pam's amazing love for music.
